Care and Handling of Your Diamond Jewelry – Cleaning your Diamond Rings and Jewelry

Though diamonds are rated excellent for wearing everyday there are steps you should take in handling and caring for your diamond rings and other jewelry. Taking these steps will help to make sure your diamond rings, necklaces, earrings or other jewelry remain beautiful for many years to come.

Though a diamond is the hardest material known to man, it is not the toughest. For this reason, you should avoid having it come into contact with other diamonds in a way that it may become scratched. Remove your diamond jewelry before doing heavy work or lifting because a diamond can become chipped or even break upon receiving a sharp blow. You should also avoid having it come into contact with other gemstones in a way that it may scratch them.

Cleaning your diamond is important to maintaining its beauty. Do this by cleaning it with a soft toothbrush and a combination of mild dish soap and warm water. You can also use an ultrasonic unit for at home use. Make sure the toothbrush is new and not previously used and to use the toothbrush only for the purpose of cleaning your diamond rings and other jewelry.
