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!
