At Rogers Jewelry Co., we believe that a diamond ring is far more than a symbol of love— it is also an heirloom that deserves meticulous care throughout the years. Over time, even the most dazzling diamonds can lose their brilliance if not properly maintained. That is why professional cleaning and inspection are essential to keeping your diamond rings beautiful. With over 85 years of experience serving California and Nevada, we take pride in preserving the beauty and integrity of your most beloved treasures. Learn about the key indicators showing when to get your diamond ring professionally cleaned and inspected with this guide from the staff at Rogers Jewelry Co.

Signs of Dullness and Lack of Sparkle

One of the clearest signs that it is time to have your diamond ring professionally cleaned is a noticeable lack of sparkle. Everyday wear exposes your ring to lotions, soaps, chemicals, and natural oils that gradually coat the surface of your diamond and diminish its brilliance. While at-home cleaning can temporarily improve your ring’s appearance, professional care ensures that every facet is restored to its maximum fire and brilliance. At Rogers Jewelry Co., we use advanced cleaning techniques to reveal the natural beauty of your diamond. If you notice your ring looking shabby under natural light, it is the perfect moment to visit us for a professional cleaning.

Loose or Shifting Stones

Another crucial indicator that it’s time to have your diamond ring inspected is the possibility of loose stones. Diamonds are often secured with prongs or intricate settings, and with daily wear, these components can weaken over time. A shifting or rattling stone is not just a cosmetic issue— it is a risk to the very security of your cherished diamonds. At Rogers Jewelry Co., our experts carefully examine your ring under magnification, ensuring that each precious stone is perfectly and securely set. By identifying and addressing loose diamonds early, we can prevent potential damage or loss of your beloved treasures.

Scratches and Wear on the Band

Though diamonds are known for their unmatched strength, the precious metals that hold them, such as platinum or white gold, can accumulate scratches or even damage with regular wear. These subtle marks may dull the polish of your ring and compromise its comfort and security. A professional jeweler can not only polish your band to restore its original luster, but also assess any structural wear. At Rogers Jewelry Co., we take pride in offering in-house services that renew the integrity and beauty of your favorite jewelry without altering its design or essence.

Annual Professional Maintenance

Beyond visible signs of wear, it’s recommended that every diamond ring undergo professional cleaning and inspection at least once a year. Regular maintenance ensures the long-term durability of your ring while also allowing your jeweler to identify and repair potential issues before they become serious. At Rogers Jewelry Co., our showrooms are equipped with the most advanced jewelry care technologies, making us the premier destination for diamond ring maintenance. We also provide a luxurious and comfortable experience, from private viewing rooms to complimentary beverages, ensuring your visit is comfortable and enjoyable as you explore our showroom or wait for your treasured pieces.
