Can chlorine damage my diamond ring?

Answer by  Annie (24)

Yes and no. Chlorine will not harm a diamond, but it can eat away at gold and silver. One soak, however, wil be fine. As long as you rinse off the ring in some jewelry cleaner. If your ring is platinum, don't worry at all.

Chlorine may damage white gold. It can corrode away the nickel it's alloyed with. Even if the damage is invisible, it may weaken the prongs that hold diamonds on. This is likeliest with a white gold piece, but have any chlorine-exposed jewelry checked.

What you should really be concerned about is the mounting of the ring. Exposure to chlorine doesn't damage diamonds, but Chlorine will eat away or discolor certain kinds of metal. Platinum is safer from it than most metals, but don't wear your ring in any swimming pools if it's made of white gold, gold, or silver.
