How to Care For Your Diamond Jewelry

Keep your diamond jewelry looking its best.

The most attractive feature of diamonds is their flash and fire, something that is significantly dulled when a diamond becomes dirty. Even though they are the hardest of gems, does not mean they aren't as prone to collecting the same dirt and detritus as other types of jewelry.

Many women will wear their diamond engagement rings, night and day. And while this is perfectly fine to do, you must remember that in the course of 24 hours, a diamond can be exposed to soaps, lotions, creams, dust, and good, old-fashioned dirt that can gather in the crevices of the settings.

A mild solution of dish soap and a used, soft-bristled toothbrush will scrub away the accumulation of daily dirt, and remove the coating that blocks light from reflecting through the many facets of your stones. When it is clean, try not to touch the stones with your fingers, because just like glass, they will become smudged with the natural oils from your hands.

To keep your diamond jewelry looking its best, rings in particular, avoid wearing it when there is any chance at all of hard bumps and knocks. While they are a ten on the hardness scale of gemstones, even a diamond struck at the right angle and right intensity, can crack or chip.

Regular cleaning at home is helpful in preserving their glitter, but once a year, you should have a jeweler check all pieces for wear and tear, or potentially loose settings. You can also get a professional cleaning at the same time.
