DIAMOND CARE
Caring for your diamond properly can help maintain its beauty and luster for years. Here are some simple instructions to help you keep your diamond looking best:
- Regular Cleaning: Clean your diamond regularly to remove oils, dirt, and debris that can dull its sparkle. Use a mild solution of water water with a few drops of ammonia and gently scrub the diamond with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Avoid exposing your diamond to harsh chemicals, such as bleach, chlorine, and abrasive cleaners. These chemicals can damage the diamond’s surface and setting. Remove your diamond jewelry before swimming, cleaning, or engaging in activities that involve exposure to chemicals.
- Store Properly: When not wearing your diamond jewelry, store it in a soft pouch or jewelry box to prevent scratches and damage. Keep each piece separate from other jewelry to prevent scratching.
- Minimize Impact: While diamonds are durable, they can still chip or break if subjected to hard blows or impacts. Avoid wearing your diamond jewelry during activities such as sports, gardening, or heavy lifting.
- Avoid Extreme Temperatures: While diamonds are resistant to heat, extreme temperature changes can cause damage. Avoid exposing your diamond jewelry to sudden temperature changes, such as placing it near heaters or in direct sunlight for extended periods.
- Travel Carefully: When traveling with your diamond jewelry, pack it securely in a padded jewelry pouch or box to prevent damage during transit. Avoid placing it in checked luggage where it may be subject to rough handling.
