Diamonds are one of the hardest substances on earth; however, they are not indestructible. They can chip and break and are especially vulnerable at the girdle [link to diamond anatomy]. Having diamonds set in a relatively protective setting, can help keep them safe. It’s also recommended to remove jewelry when performing any type of rough work, like gardening, household repairs or exercise. Since diamonds can scratch other diamonds, be sure to store jewelry in individual soft cotton pouches.
Natural skin oils, perspiration, lotions, perfume, hair spray, dirt and dust can build up on your diamond and dull its natural beauty. Our diamonds can be safely cleaned at home with soapy cold water and a soft washcloth. You may also use a jewelry ultrasonic cleaner set to a moderate temperature, steam cleaner or a commercial non-acid-based jewelry cleaner.
