Tips for general care of your diamond ring:
• Don't wear it while you are doing rough work. A diamond can be chipped or cracked by a hard blow, and prongs can be bent or broken from excessive force.
• Don't let your diamond come into contact with harsh chemicals such as chlorine bleach or cleaning detergent. They can damage and discolor the mounting.
• Don't jumble your diamond pieces together in a jewelry box, because diamonds can scratch other jewelry and even scratch each other. Instead, try to keep them in separate compartments or store them in individual pouches.
• Don't frequently touch the surface of the stone. Skin oil can cause a buildup on their surfaces, which greatly reduces brilliance and sparkle.
• Do bring your ring in twice a year to have it thoroughly checked. Over time, settings can loosen and prongs can wear down. If you ever feel or hear the stone moving in the setting it is a warning that the prongs or bezel need tightening. Failure to take care of this may result in loss or damage.
• Do remove jewelry before bathing. Soap can cause a film to form, making jewelry appear dull. By preventing the formation of this film, you immediately reduce the amount of cleanings your jewelry will need. Lotions, powders, and soaps all can cut down on the brilliance of your diamond. Clean diamonds sparkle and shine because the maximum amount of light can enter and refract in a fiery brilliance. |
