Caring for your Diamond
Diamonds may be the hardest substance known to man, but they too can be damaged or dulled. Your diamond jewelry will benefit from the following tips:
Don't jumble your diamond jewelry together or with other pieces because diamonds can scratch other jewelry and each other.
Keep your diamond jewelry in a fabric-lined jewel case or in a box with compartments or dividers.
Don't wear your diamonds when doing rough work. Even though a diamond is durable, it can be chipped by a hard blow.
Clean your diamonds regularly using either commercial jewelry cleaner, a mix of ammonia and water, or a mild detergent. Dip the jewelry into the solution and use a soft brush to dislodge dust or dirt from under the setting.
Don't let your diamond come in contact with chlorine bleach or other chemicals because they can pit or discolor the mounting.
See your jeweler at least once a year to have your diamond jewelry professionally cleaned and checked for loose prongs and wear.
