How Do I Make a Diamond Solitaire Ring Look Better?

A diamond solitaire ring is a ring that contains a solitary diamond as its focal point. Whether your diamond solitaire ring is large to make a bold statement or small and simple, it is important that you take care of it so that it can look nice and always be at its best.

Instructions

1

Keep your diamond solitaire ring clean by washing it at least weekly. Many jewelry sellers offer cleaners to go with their rings free of charge, but you can make your own ring cleaner at home by mixing equal parts baking soda and water. Gently rub the mixture onto the ring for a few minutes, and rinse clean.

2

Use a lint-free cloth to dry your diamond solitaire ring, and polish it to a shine.

3

Keep your nails neat or painted. This is often overlooked, but improving the look of your hands is an easy way to improve the perceived appearance of your ring.

4

Moisturize your hands regularly. Dry or flaky skin will detract from your overall hand's appearance and take attention away from your ring.

5

Remove your ring before applying lotion or using hair products. These will easily get caught in your ring and cause it to look dull and dingy, resulting in more frequent cleaning.

6

Take your diamond solitaire ring to its place of purchase or to a jewelry cleaner to have it thoroughly inspected, flushed clean and buffed to a bright polish.
