The chief gemologist of jeweler Harry Winston has an answer for customers who claim their diamonds don't sparkle as they did when they were new.

As reported in The Wall Street Journal, he makes a house call. Once there, he mixes three parts water to one part ammonia and immerses the diamond in the solution. 

Using an old toothbrush, make-up brush, or stiff-bristled paint brush, he cleans the diamond itself and between the prongs of the stone. Then the diamond is rinsed under a faucet and dried with a soft towel.

The solution isn't appropriate for sapphires or emeralds. He uses it to clean diamond rings set in platinum or gold. 

Never use soap on a diamond. It leaves a cloudy film.
