Clean your diamonds

Looking after your diamond jewelry is of paramount importance. Even though a diamond is among the hardest natural substances on earth, sadly, it can be chipped. If a diamond knocks against another, it is likely to chip or even break.

If you don't have a jewelry box that has the little slots to store your rings in, then put each ring, earring or necklace into a cloth pouch.It takes up more space but definitely worth the effort.

A diamond is known for its sparkle, its luster and its brilliance. Skin oil, body and hand creams all have the ability to tarnish the shine of a diamond. To clean the diamond, use a little dish soap and water and if required an old soft toothbrush to get the dirt off its corners. You could also use a weak solution of ammonia and water and an old soft toothbrush to get down between the crevices.Leave it to dry and polish the item with a dry soft cloth and you will have the sparkle back on your jewelry.
