Diamonds can be the perfect investment, but if you don’t know how to protect and care for them you could have a problem. Diamonds are sometimes mistaken for unbreakable or indestructible stones when in fact they are not. Diamonds are brittle and can crack or chip if not handled gently. It is also a good idea to store your diamonds separately and wrap them in soft cloth to prevent any scratches or blemishes.

Skin, dirt, and other unclean substances can cause your diamonds to lose their shine and brilliance. Soap and water is recommended when cleaning your diamonds. After the diamonds are clean, let them dry, and then polish them off with a soft cloth. In order to remove dirt from the cracks and crevasses of your diamond jewelry, brush it with an old worn down soft-bristled toothbrush. It is important to remember to be very gentle when cleaning your diamonds and metal settings as both can scratch.
