How do I clean a diamond ring?
To keep your diamond ring sparkling, soak it in warm water with mild dish soap for 15–20 minutes, gently scrub with a soft toothbrush, rinse thoroughly, and pat dry with a lint-free cloth—avoiding harsh chemicals.
For a deeper clean and to maintain its brilliance, visit Matthew Ely Jewellery for a professional Polish & Sparkle, including a detailed jewellery clean by one of our qualified gemmologists.
How can I tell if a diamond ring is real?
To check if a diamond ring is real, try the fog test (a real diamond won’t fog up easily), the water test (a real diamond sinks), or the scratch test (diamonds can scratch glass).
Inspect it under light—real diamonds reflect white and rainbow light brilliantly.
For certainty, visit Matthew Ely Jewellery, where our experts can assess your diamond ring with professional tools.
What are the 4Cs of a diamond ring and why do they matter?
The 4Cs of a diamond ring are Cut, Clarity, Carat weight, and Colour. These factors determine the diamond's quality and value:
Cut refers to how well the diamond is shaped, impacting its brilliance.
Clarity measures the presence of internal or external flaws (inclusions and blemishes).
Carat weight is the size of the diamond.
Colour ranges from colourless to light yellow, with colourless diamonds being more valuable.
Understanding the 4Cs helps you choose a diamond ring that matches your preferences for beauty and budget.

Can I wear my diamond ring every day?
Yes, you can wear your diamond ring every day, but regular care is essential to keep it looking its best. Diamonds are durable, but the metal setting can scratch or loosen over time. Avoid wearing your ring during activities like heavy lifting, cleaning with harsh chemicals, or swimming.
To maintain its brilliance, visit Matthew Ely Jewellery for a professional Polish & Sparkle, where our qualified jewellers will clean and inspect your diamond ring.
What is the difference between a natural and lab-grown diamond ring?
A natural diamond ring features a diamond formed over billions of years deep within the Earth, making it rare and unique.
A lab-grown diamond ring contains a diamond created in a controlled environment using advanced technology, with the same chemical and optical properties as a natural diamond but at a lower price.
Natural diamonds hold greater rarity and long-term value, and are the only diamonds available at Matthew Ely Jewellery.
Can I get my diamond ring certified?
Yes, you can get your diamond ring certified by reputable gemological laboratories like GIA. Certification verifies the diamond’s 4Cs (Cut, Colour, Clarity, and Carat Weight) and ensures authenticity.
If your ring isn’t already certified, visit Matthew Ely Jewellery, where our experts can assess your diamond and guide you through the certification process.
