Caring for diamond earrings
Here are some invaluable tips on caring for your lab-grown diamond earrings:
1. Regular Cleaning:
- Gently clean your diamond earrings with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove everyday dust and debris.
- For a deeper cleanse, create a solution of mild soap and warm water. Dip a soft brush in the mixture and gently scrub the earrings, ensuring all surfaces are reached. Rinse with clean water and pat dry.
2. Avoid Harsh Chemicals:
- Keep your diamond earrings away from harsh chemicals, perfumes, and cleaning agents to prevent any damage to the stones and metal.
3. Secure Storage:
- Store your earrings in a separate compartment or a jewelry box to prevent scratching and tangling with other pieces.
4. Professional Check-up:
- Periodically, have a professional jeweler inspect your earrings to ensure the settings are secure, and the diamonds are in optimal condition.
5. Mindful Wear:
- While our lab-grown diamonds are durable, it's advisable to remove your earrings during activities like sports, cleaning, or any situation where they might come into contact with hard surfaces.
Embrace the joy of showcasing your style with ELGA lab-grown diamond earrings, and let these care tips be the secret to everlasting radiance. Your jewelry is a reflection of your elegance, and we are here to ensure it shines brilliantly every day.

Caring for Your Sparkle: Maintenance Tips for Your ELGA Diamonds
The enchanting sparkle of your ELGA diamond is truly irresistible, and we understand the desire to preserve its brilliance. To ensure your diamond retains its captivating shine between professional cleaning and service appointments, here are some valuable tips for maintenance:
1. Regular Polishing:
After each wear or as needed, use a soft polishing cloth, often referred to as a silver polishing cloth, to gently rub the metal setting and earring post. This simple step helps restore the shine to your earrings effortlessly.
2. Deep Cleaning Ritual:
For a more profound clean focusing on the diamond itself, prepare a small bowl with lukewarm water and a splash of mild dishwasher soap. Allow your diamond jewelry to soak in the liquid for approximately 20 minutes.
3. Precise Scrubbing:
Carefully remove the earrings and, using a soft bristle toothbrush, delicately scrub around the diamond, paying special attention to the prongs and basket. The toothbrush effectively removes accumulated dirt from aerosols, lotions, makeup, and soap. Pro tip: If in doubt about the bristle softness, opt for a baby toothbrush, ensuring it's exclusively reserved for cleaning purposes and not used for a baby's teeth.
4. Thorough Rinsing:
After using the toothbrush, thoroughly rinse the earrings. If necessary, repeat the process. Always ensure the sink drain is securely plugged during cleaning.
5. Gentle Drying:
Once satisfied with the cleaning, completely dry the earrings using a soft polishing cloth or lint-free cloth. In the absence of the appropriate cloth, opt for air drying to prevent any potential scratching of the metal setting.
Embrace these simple yet effective maintenance practices to keep the allure of your ELGA diamonds alive. Your jewelry is a reflection of timeless elegance, and these care tips ensure it continues to sparkle brilliantly with every wear.

Preserving Perfection: Storing Your ELGA Diamonds
Your cherished ELGA diamonds deserve the utmost care, even when they're not adorning you. To ensure their enduring brilliance, follow these essential storage guidelines:
1. Optimal Environment:
Store your jewelry in a dry, cool, and secure place when not in use. Ideally, use a jewelry box for safekeeping. If a closed container is unavailable, take care not to place jewelry in high-moisture areas, such as bathrooms, as the damp climate can expedite tarnishing.
2. Preventing Tangles:
Proper care and storage also play a role in preventing tangling. When removing necklaces and bracelets, remember to fasten their clasps to avoid entanglement.
3. Diamond's Strength:
Diamonds hold the title of the hardest material in the world, capable of scratching metals and even other diamonds. To prevent such occurrences, store pairs of earrings slightly apart from each other. Dedicate a specific spot in your jewelry box for each piece, or alternatively, return the jewelry to a soft travel pouch or its original box for added protection.
By adhering to these storage practices, you not only safeguard the pristine beauty of your ELGA diamonds but also ensure they remain a timeless symbol of elegance with every wear.
Jewelry care tips everyone should know
Preserving Brilliance: Proactive Care Tips for Your ELGA Jewelry
To maintain the enduring radiance of your exquisite ELGA jewelry, consider these proactive care tips:
1. Athletic Caution:
Always remove your jewelry before engaging in athletic activities or sports. The pressure from activities like weightlifting or yoga poses could potentially bend the band of a ring or loosen prongs, posing a risk to your precious diamonds.
2. Chlorine and Saltwater Avoidance:
Prolonged exposure to chlorine can lead to the erosion of plating and metals over time. Likewise, saltwater is not an ideal companion for your jewelry. If a swim is on your agenda, consider storing your jewels safely or opting for alternative accessories like sunglasses.
3. Dress Last:
Make jewelry the finishing touch to your ensemble. By putting on your jewelry last, you minimize its contact with lotions and perfumes, which can have adverse effects on plating and lead to tarnishing.
By integrating these simple practices into your routine, you actively contribute to preserving the out-of-the-box sparkle of your ELGA collection, ensuring it remains a beacon of timeless elegance.
Should you sleep with your jewelry on?
Jewelry and Beauty Sleep: A Word of Caution from ELGA
While it's technically possible to sleep with your jewelry on, we advise against it. Here's why:
1. Snagging Hazards:
Prongs on rings could potentially snag on your hair or bedding, posing risks of damaging your sheets or loosening the stone's setting. Opting to remove your jewelry before bedtime mitigates these potential hazards.
2. Earring Considerations:
Sleeping in earrings, especially those with posts, carries its own set of risks. The posts may bend during sleep movements, or earring backs could come off, leading to potential loss or damage.
3. Precious Stones Deserve Care:
Diamonds, being precious stones, warrant careful handling. Treating them with the respect they deserve includes removing them before sleep to ensure their longevity and brilliance.
By adopting these considerations, you contribute to the lasting beauty and integrity of your ELGA pieces, allowing them to shine as brilliantly as the day they became part of your collection.

ELGA Care Tips: Ensuring the Brilliance of Your Prong-Set Jewelry
At ELGA, we understand that prong-set jewelry deserves special attention to maintain its allure. Here are some care tips to keep your pieces shining:
1. Yearly Prong Check:
For jewelry worn regularly, schedule a yearly "prong check" with a professional jeweler. At ELGA, our team meticulously hand-sets each prong to ensure the security of your prong mountings. Everyday wear can lead to occasional loosening, and professionals can swiftly ensure everything is snug and secure.
2. At-Home Inspection:
Conduct periodic at-home inspections by looking and listening to your jewelry. Hold prong-set pieces between two fingers and close to your ear. Give it a gentle shake. Any rattling or faint clicking sounds suggest the need for professional prong tightening.
By following these simple steps, you contribute to the longevity and brilliance of your ELGA prong-set jewelry. Ready to add more sparkle to your collection? Explore our stunning lab-grown diamond earrings.
