Diamond Care

Although the diamond is the hardest substance known on earth, it still requires attention and care. Exposure during ordinary wear to perspiration and household chemicals, like chlorine and hairspray, can dull the surface of a diamond. Periodic cleanings are important for keeping the gemstone brilliant and refractive.

Usually all that's needed to restore a diamond's sparkle is a gentle scrubbing with a soft-bristle brush in a solution of plain alcohol diluted in warm water. Periodic ultra-sonic cleanings are also recommended, as are spot checks by your local jeweler for loose prongs and wear.

When you are not wearing your fine diamond jewelry, we recommend that you store diamond pieces individually in soft cloth pouches to prevent the diamond's hardness from scratching or dulling other pieces.
