Care and Maintenance

Diamonds are one of the hardest substances on earth, but they are still vulnerable to chips, dirt, dust, perspiration, makeup, and natural skin oils, as well as household chemicals, like chlorine and hairspray. With the proper care, cleaning, and storage, you can keep it looking as beautiful as the day you first received it. Always take extra care when wearing your jewelry in the kitchen or the bathroom, especially while cleaning. If you knock your diamond on a hard surface, the stone can become chipped or loose in its setting and you could risk losing your diamond. We recommend that you remove your diamond while cleaning, gardening, swimming and intense exercising.

Care

We recommend having your diamond professionally cleaned and inspected once every six months by a qualified jeweler. This should include checking the mounting for loose stones, prong repair and inspecting the general condition of your jewelry.

Cleaning

To avoid dirty build-up from cosmetics, natural oils, dirt, soap, etc., periodic cleaning is suggested. This will keep the surface of your diamond brilliant and shiny. You can use professional or home-made cleaner. Diamond Cleaning Solution: 1 part ammonia to 6 parts water; gently hand-scrub with a soft-bristle brush.

Storage

Diamonds can scratch other diamonds, gemstones and metals. Storing your diamond jewelry in individual cloth pouches when not being worn will prevent your jewelry from being damaged.

Insurance

Accidents do happen and we strongly recommend that you insure your diamond against loss, theft, and damage.
