how to clean diamond studs???
 
well, its been over 6 months of wearing my studs(they are tiny 1/5 ct) and wel they lost all there luster went from shining back to now just matt fake looking...

any one know how to clean them?

Go to a jewelery store . It's your best and safest bet .

EDIT : If I'm not mistaken , I believe they use really hot water or some sort of solvent .

baggdis300 04-03-2011 02:06 PM
they only cost me 40$ (amazon FTW)

and yes they are real diamonds and 14 k white gold. so i rather not spend more on cleaning then they are worth

i just left them in some hot water and used a tooth brush they are waaaay more sparkly than before...

I just use the regular sprayable (sp?) isopropyl alcohol and spray it. Im actually quite paranoid of getting my ear infected so i clean it every week.

did you recently get yours pierced?

i was able to take mine out after about 6 months overnight, they were completely healed.
shitty part is that i kept such a small stud in my ears so now when i go to wear bigger studs the stud is like a size or two bigger so theres some discomfort when wearing the larger ones..

nope had it for quite a while. 5-6 years? But with all that dead skin build up and when you go for runs/shower you get that stuff there moist good environment for shit to grow so I clean it every week.

lol, i take mine out when i shower...

so much easier to dry my self..

esp after one time the stud got stuck in the towel, i will NEVER forget that pain... lol

I've got a 1/2 ct stud in white gold. Usually will use toothpaste and scrub it with a toothbrush. Then rinse with hydrogen peroxide to sanitize. Makes it sparkle.

some pretty bad reviews on those amazon studs.. any other options?

baggdis300 04-08-2011 02:17 PM
how is 5 stars for the first one 3 for the second and 5 for the blues bad reviews?

kevin7352 04-08-2011 04:16 PM
we're just talking about how we cant find studs as cheap as you did.
obviously it's easy to find them for 99$
