Caring for a diamond takes more than occasional cleanings. Diamonds are forever,
but they can be damaged if you are not careful. By learning how to properly care for
your diamond, you will ensure that your diamond is indeed forever.

First, you should take your diamond jewelry to a jeweler once a year. Have him check the
mountings and prongs that hold your diamond in place. Have him make any
needed repairs. This will prevent your diamond from falling out of its setting and
becoming lost.

Diamond jewelry that is not being worn, or diamonds that are loose should be stored in
a fabric lined jewel case, or in a jewelry box where it can be kept separate from other
jewelry. Each piece should have its own compartment. This will keep diamonds from
becoming scratched, and it will also keep your diamond from scratching other jewelry as well.

Remove your diamond jewelry when doing physical work. Diamonds can be chipped
and scratched easily. Also avoid allowing your diamond to come into contact with bleach or other household cleansers – this
can damage or change the color of the settings and mountings, and it may even
irreversibly change the color of the diamond!
