Keeping your diamonds brilliant starts with simple, consistent care. At SP Diament Jewels in Westmount, our team has helped Montrealers protect and enjoy their fine jewelry for decades. Below, discover expert tips tailored to Montreal’s climate - plus when to visit our boutique for a professional checkup.

Why Diamond Care Matters in Montreal

Montreal’s seasonal shifts - humid summers, road salt in winter, and indoor heating - can affect metal settings and how clean your diamonds appear. Routine cleaning and occasional professional inspections keep stones secure and sparkling.

Everyday Cleaning You Can Do at Home

Simple, safe steps

Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water, soak for 10-15 minutes, then gently brush with a soft toothbrush. Rinse and pat dry with a lint-free cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that can dull metal or loosen adhesives.

• Use a soft brush for prongs and under-gallery details.
• Clean regularly if you use hand lotions or hair products.
• Remove jewelry before gym, pool, or cleaning chores.

Professional Cleaning & Inspection in Westmount

Even with careful home care, we recommend a professional cleaning and inspection at least once a year - twice if you wear your ring daily. Our jewellers at SP Diament’s service atelier will check prongs, tighten stones, polish metal, and advise on any preventative maintenance.

Storage & Travel Tips

Keep brilliance and prevent scratches

Store pieces individually in soft pouches or lined compartments so diamonds don’t scratch each other or softer gemstones. For travel, use a compact jewelry roll and avoid exposing pieces to extreme heat or moisture.

When to Resize, Re-tip, or Re-set

If your ring spins, feels tight, or shows snagging prongs, it’s time to visit our team. We can resize or re-tip prongs, restore polish, and recommend long-term setting solutions for active lifestyles.

Shop Essentials That Make Care Easier

In Conclusion

With a simple at-home routine and periodic professional care, your diamonds will stay as radiant as the day you received them. We’re here to help you protect what you love - with personalized guidance at our Westmount boutique.
