Diamond Jewelry Care
Because diamond is the hardest
known substance you must be careful when storing
your diamond jewelry, as it can scratch other
gemstones and metals. Store diamond jewelry separately
in a cloth pouch.
Avoid salt water and harsh
chemicals and detergents when wearing your diamond
jewelry. 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 jewelry after
you have applied cosmetics, perfumes, after-shaves,
hairsprays, etc
Remove all jewelry before
engaging in such activities as sports, housework
or yard work where jewelry is prone to impacts
and/or chemicals.
Check for loose gems and
clasps before each wear.
Pearl and bead necklaces
should be restrung at least every two years, annually
if you wear them frequently.
Wipe your jewelry off before
each wear
Always insure your jewelry.
Clean your jewelry at your
trusted local jeweler every six months. Use this
opportunity to ensure that your gemstones are
secure.
