How to Maintain Diamond Jewellery for Summer Events and Everyday Glamour
Ultra Jewellers • June 17, 2026
With Edmonton’s summer season bringing more social events, celebrations, and sun-filled adventures, now is the perfect time to ensure your diamond jewellery is as brilliant as your summer spirit. Whether you’re attending local festivals, hosting backyard gatherings, or simply want to add a touch of glamour to everyday moments, diamonds are the ultimate accessory. At Ultra Jewellers, we understand that maintaining your diamond jewellery during the hot, busy months is key to keeping every piece radiant and ready for any occasion.
Why Summer Calls for Extra Attention to Diamond Jewellery
Edmonton’s vibrant summer can expose your jewellery to more risk than cooler months. Outdoor activities, increased perspiration, sunscreen, and chlorinated pools are all part of the fun—but they can leave residues on your diamonds, dulling their sparkle. Protecting and maintaining your precious pieces ensures you look exceptional whether at a Canada Day celebration or a stroll down Whyte Avenue.
Top Tips to Maintain Your Diamond Jewellery This Summer
Keep Your Diamonds Clean and Brilliant
Regular cleaning is crucial, especially when your jewellery is exposed to sunscreen, lotion, and oils. A gentle at-home clean can restore lost shine:
- Soak your pieces in a bowl of warm water mixed with mild dish soap for 20-30 minutes.
- Gently brush around the setting and stone with a soft-bristle toothbrush.
- Rinse thoroughly under lukewarm water and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.
For those seeking the ultimate brilliance, professional diamond cleaning at Ultra Jewellers in Edmonton offers meticulous ultrasonic and steam methods that bring out your jewellery’s true fire.
Avoid Common Summer Hazards
To keep your diamonds safe from potential damage:
- Remove rings and bracelets before swimming in pools or hot tubs—chlorine can erode settings and loosen stones.
- Take off your jewellery before applying sunscreen, lotions, or oils.
- Store your pieces in a soft pouch or lined jewellery box when spending time outdoors or at local events.
Getting the Right Fit: Professional Ring Sizing
With temperatures rising, fingers can swell, and rings may become uncomfortably tight. At Ultra Jewellers, our ring sizing and repair service ensures a perfect fit year-round. This prevents loss and maximizes comfort at Edmonton’s summer events or during sports and activities.
How Often Should I Clean My Diamond Jewellery?
Many Edmonton locals ask, how often should you clean your diamond jewellery? For pieces worn daily, a gentle at-home clean once a week keeps residue at bay. However, a full professional cleaning and inspection every three to six months is ideal—especially before major summer occasions such as weddings or family reunions. This allows our expert jewellers to check for loose stones or worn settings, ensuring your diamonds stay secure and dazzling.
Store and Transport with Care
Summer often means travel throughout Alberta or weekend getaways from Edmonton. Protect your jewellery during transit:
- Use a padded travel case with separate compartments to avoid scratches.
- Pack only essential pieces to minimize loss or damage.
- Consider having your jewellery professionally inspected and cleaned before your trip for peace of mind.
Refresh Your Collection for Summer Events
If you’re looking to elevate your style, consider a jewellery appraisal or a custom redesign at Ultra Jewellers. Transform inherited or outdated pieces into contemporary summer showstoppers that suit both your taste and the city’s latest trends. Our team of skilled craftsmen can repurpose your old diamonds, ensuring every piece has a story—and a style—all its own.
