Diamond Care

Diamonds may be the hardest substance on earth, but they are not indestructible. While they can be cut or polished only by another diamond, a hard blow can cause them to chip. Never wear your diamond jewelry when doing rough work.

 

 

Don't store your diamond jewelry next to other jewelry pieces as this can cause scratches. A fabric-lined jewelry case with separate compartments is Ideal. You can also individually wrap jewelry in soft tissue paper or use jewelry pouches for each piece. Regularly inspect your diamond jewelry to make sure the setting is secure. Promptly bring it in if you notice any signs of damage or loosening of the prongs. It's a good idea to have your diamond jewelry examined at least once a year by us. In addition to performing any necessary repair work, we can expertly clean your jewelry. Everyday exposure to creams, skin oils, hairspray, household chemicals, and other substances can cause buildup that will dull your diamond's brilliance and sparkle. Use a solution of warm water mixed with a few drop of ammonia, or an approved jewelry cleaner, in which to soak your diamond jewelry. Gentle scrubbing with an old, soft-bristled toothbrush is useful for more extensive cleaning. Rinse and dry with a clean soft cloth.

 

 

So how can you keep your diamond looking its very best? Here are some tips on diamond care:

 

Sometimes an ultrasonic cleaner is necessary to remove encrusted dirt on diamonds. By sending high frequency sound waves through a detergent solution, ultrasonic cleaners cause vibrating fluid to remove accumulated dirt and grime. However, they can also shake loose stones from their mounting, so this method shouldn't be used on fragile settings, and is best undertaken by us.

 

Regular cleaning will keep your diamond jewelry in gleaming condition and ready to sparkle on that special occasion.

 

 

Even though you may wear your diamond ring 24 hours a day, you should still give thought to its care.
