How to Care your Diamond

Diamonds are the hardest known substances on earth. But this doesn’t mean that they are un destroyable. While they can be cut and polished only by another diamond, a hard blow can chip it. So never wear diamond jewelry while doing rough work.
Exposing diamond to high heat can damage the surface of the stone. This happens occasionally when jewelry repair is done without protecting or removing the diamond. High heat can also cause color change, fractures or cleavages in the diamond depending on the nature and extent of its internal flaws.
Diamonds can scratch each other as well as other jewelry pieces, so they should be stored individually. Diamond jewelry pieces are best stored in a fabric-lined jewel case or in a compartmentalised box. You can also individually wrap jewelry in soft tissue paper or use jewelry pouches for each piece.
If you notice loose stone settings or any other noticeable damages to your jewelry, do not wear it, until it is assessed and repaired by a trusted, professional jeweler. We recommend that you get your diamond jewelry checked annually.
When travelling, store your diamonds in soft jewelry bags, individually, and use a specially designed jewelry travel case if you can get one. Never leave your diamond ring on the rim of the sink or bathtub because it can easily slip into the drain. Don’t take off your jewelry in a public place, you may accidentally forget it and lose it forever.
When doing household chores, never allow your jewelry to come into contact with chlorine bleach, because they can discolour the mounting.
Swimming and washing can shrink the finger and loosen the ring, and may result in the diamond ring falling off your finger. So remove it before such activities
Cleaning Diamond Jewellery
Diamonds need regular and proper cleaning to keep it sparkling. Like anything else, they also accumulate dirt and dust. Lotions, powders, soaps, food and even the natural oils from your skin will create a smear or coat on diamonds, which will reduce their luster. Besides, chemicals in the air will oxidize or discolor the mountings. Keeping your jewelry clean will maximize its brilliance and beauty.
Check the setting of your jewelry, before cleaning to ensure it is secure and well fastened. If you begin scrubbing a loose stone you may damage or even lose a piece. You should avoid chlorine and ammonia as both can discolor and damage the metal in which the gem stone is set.
