How to handle and wear diamonds and diamond jewelry with care
-
Have your diamond ring checked by a reliable jeweler every 12 to
18 months. The jeweler will check to see if the prongs of the
diamond setting are secure. When the diamond moves around in the
setting or if you can hear the diamond moving around, the prongs
or the bezel need tightening. Failure to do so may damage the
diamond or the diamond may fall out of the setting.
-
Remove your diamond ring or diamond jewelry prior to taking a
bath, shower or putting on makeup. Soap and makeup residue dulls
the shine and sparkle of the diamond making it look lackluster and
require more frequent cleaning.
-
Remove your diamond ring before doing housework. Chemicals from
cleaners and abrasives can damage diamonds and its diamond
setting. Products containing chlorine can dull the appearance of
diamonds and discolor the metal used in diamond settings.
Polishing the diamond may restore its shine.
