Diamond Jewelry Care



Because diamond is the hardest known substance you must be careful when storing diamond jewelery, it can scratch other gemstones and metals.  Store diamond jewelery separately in a cloth pouch.

Avoid salt water and harsh chemicals and detergents when wearing your diamonds.  As much as possible try to keep your diamonds free of perspiration, dirt, cosmetics, and hair spray. (You can bathe while wearing gold without causing harm.  Ordinary soap, however, can dull it.)

Always put on diamond  jewelry after you have put on makeup, perfume, after-shave, hairspray, whatever.

Remove all jewelry before playing sports, doing housework or yard work where jewelry is prone to impacts and or chemicals.

Check for loose diamonds and clasps before each wear.

Pearl and bead necklaces should be restrung at least every two years, annually if you wear them frequently.

Wipe off diamonds before each wear.

Always insure your diamond jewelery.

Have your jewelery cleaned every six months at your trusted jeweler.  Use this time to be sure your stones are secure.
