Although diamonds are very hard they can still get damaged and should be looked after to keep them sparkling for many years to come.
o Never wear your diamond engagement ring when you are doing any rough work or housework. Even dish washing detergents can damage the settings of the diamonds.
o Your diamond jewelry should be kept in separate pouches made from a soft fabric when they are not in use, so that they can’t come into contact with each other and get scratched.
o It is a good idea to keep diamond jewelry in the packaging in which you received them.
o They should be regularly cleaned to ensure their brilliance.
o They get dirt and grime on them from soap, cosmetics and skin oils and any other substance that they could have come into contact with.
o The best way to clean them is to immerse them in a basin of lukewarm water with any mild detergent. Use a soft toothbrush to gently remove any dirt and grime from the diamond and settings.
o Then rinse them off under running water and dry off with a lint-free cloth.
o Commercial cleaning liquids are available to just dip your jewelry into and then dry off and polish with a soft cloth.
o Sonic jewelry cleaners are also available which are very effective for doing the job.
o Your gold and silver chains, wedding, engagement and eternity rings, as well as enamel jewelry should all be kept clean and shiny.
