Diamonds may be the hardest substance known to man, but they still 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.
