How to Care for Your Diamond

Caring for a diamond takes more than occasional cleanings.
Diamonds are forever, but they can be damaged if you are
not careful. By learning how to properly care for your
diamond, you will ensure that your diamond is indeed
forever.

First, you should take your diamond jewelry to a jeweler
once a year. Have him check the mountings and prongs that
hold your diamond in place. Have him make any needed
repairs. This will prevent your diamond from falling out of
its setting and becoming lost.

Diamond jewelry that is not being worn, or diamonds that
are loose should be stored in a fabric lined jewel case, or in
a jewelry box where it can be kept separate from other
jewelry. Each piece should have its own compartment.

This will keep diamonds from becoming scratched, and it
will also keep your diamond from scratching other jewelry
as well.Remove your diamond jewelry when doing physical
work. Diamonds can be chipped and scratched easily. Also
avoid allowing your diamond to come into contact with bleach
or other household cleansers – this can damage or change the
color of the settings and mountings, and it may even irreversibly
change the color of the diamond!
