Diamond Care - How to Care for Your Diamond
Caring for a diamond takes more than occasional cleanings. Diamonds are forever
but they can be damaged if you are not careful. By learning how to properly care
for your diamond, you will ensure that your diamond is indeed forever.
First, you should take your diamond jewelry to a jeweler once a year. Have him
check the mountings and prongs that hold your diamond in place. Have him
make any needed repairs. This will prevent your
diamond from falling out of its setting and becoming lost.

Diamond jewelry that is not being worn, or diamonds that are loose should be
stored in a fabric lined jewel case, or in a jewelry box where it can be kept
separate from other jewelry. Each piece should have its own
compartment. This will keep diamonds from becoming scratched, and it will also
keep your diamond from scratching other jewelry as well.
Remove your diamond jewelry when doing physical work. Diamonds can be chipped
and scratched easily. Also avoid allowing your diamond to come into contact with
bleach or other household cleansers – this
can damage or change the color of the settings and mountings, and it may even
irreversibly change the color of the diamond!
