Diamonds are the hardest
natural substance on Earth.
They are resistant to heat
and scratching. It’s even
impervious to any liquid
acids you may encounter… or
may not want to encounter.
In fact, it takes another
diamond to cut or polish a
diamond. But just like
anything in the world, if
you hit it hard enough, it
can chip. By having your
diamond in a relatively
protective setting, and
being aware of it on your
jewelry, your diamond will
last you generations. During
ordinary wear, perspiration
and household chemicals can
cause a buildup on the
diamond surface. We suggest
cleaning your diamond
periodically to keep your
diamond looking like new.
Cleaning your Diamond
To clean your diamond
jewelry at home, you can
purchase jewelry cleaning
liquids designed for
cleaning jewelry. Be certain
to read the labels as
different cleaners are
designed for different types
of jewelry. If you want to
make your own jewelry
cleaning solution, mix one
part ammonia with six parts
water. If you are cleaning
it by hand, gently scrubbing
with a soft brush should
loosen most dirt and restore
the brilliance to your
diamond. Be careful not to
scratch the metal of your
jewelry. If you use a
toothbrush, make sure there
is no toothpaste on the
brush as toothpaste is
mildly abrasive and will
scratch your jewelry. We
recommend you have your
diamond jewelry cleaned and
have the setting checked
professionally at least once
a year. Please be careful
when handling any chemicals.
Ammonia and other substances
can cause allergic reactions
for some people.
