Diamond jewelry is extremely popular. Engagement and wedding rings are created to be worn every day. Diamonds are very durable but they still require proper maintenance to protect them and keep them looking their very best. Clean diamonds “glow” because the maximum amount of light can enter the stone and return in a fiery brilliance. Diamonds can get smudged and dirty. Body oils, lotions, powders, and soaps can put a film on diamonds that will cut down their brilliance.
Fine jewelry is a very precious possession that is crafted to last a lifetime. However, proper care is required to assure the lasting qualities of fine jewelry. Jewelry Studio is pleased to share some important and helpful tips from Jewelers of America, Inc. for properly caring for fine jewelry, diamonds and gemstones.
General Jewelry Care Suggestions:
Store your jewelry in a safe, clean, and dry place.
Do not tangle your jewelry pieces in a drawer or case because jewelry pieces can scratch and damage each other.
Do not wear diamond jewelry, especially rings, when doing rough work! Even though a diamond is one of the hardest materials in nature, diamonds can still be chipped by a sharp, sudden blow. Treat diamonds and all precious jewelry with gentle care.
Chlorine can damage and discolor the mounting on you diamond jewelry. Keep your jewelry away from chlorine bleach or other household chemicals.
Remove your jewelry before entering a chlorinated pool or hot tub.
There are many different types of colored gemstones, some of which require very specific care and cleaning procedures. Be sure to consult with your jeweler about the care and treatment of your specific gemstones.
Do not expose precious gemstone or jewelry pieces to salt water or other harsh chemicals such as chlorine or detergents. These chemicals may slowly erode the finish and polish of gemstones and jewelry metals like silver and gold.
Hair spray and perfume may cause jewelry to become dull looking. Always apply cosmetics, lotions, and perfumes before putting on jewelry.
Do not subject gemstone jewelry to sudden temperature changes.
If you have an active lifestyle, be sure to take extra precautions with gemstone and diamond jewelry! Emeralds, for example, are brittle and should not be worn when doing household chores or any activity where the stone could be hit or damaged.
Do not wear fine jewelry when doing strenuous sports, household activities, weight-lifting or gardening.
Remove fine jewelry before showering or cleaning. Soap can cause a film to form on jewelry making diamonds, gemstones and jewelry appear dull, old and lifeless.
