Cleaning and care about diamonds
Cleaning and taking care of your Diamond
Diamonds are the hardest natural substance on Earth. They are uniquely resistant to damage by heat or scratching, and can be cut or polished only by another diamond. If you are not careful you can damage the diamond. An extremely hard blow to the girdle can cause a diamond to chip. By having your diamond set in a relatively protective setting, and remaining conscious of it on your finger, you can keep your diamond intact for a lifetime. Exposure during ordinary wear to perspiration and household chemicals, like chlorine and hairspray, can cause build-up that dulls the surface of a diamond. It is suggested that your diamond goes through a periodic cleaning session to preserve its brilliance and refraction.
How to take care of your diamond
To clean a diamond, always use a soft brush, mild soap and water. If you do not possess a special brush for cleaning jewellery, you can use an eyebrow or lipstick brush - these are soft, small and acceptable for cleaning purposes. Before cleaning, dissolve a mild detergent in warm water. Then place your diamond jewellery carefully in this solution. Start cleaning your diamond jewellery while holding it in the detergent solution. To rinse the diamond jewellery free of the detergent, place it in a strainer or a soft porous cloth under clean running water. After the cleaning, use a clean, lint-free cloth to dry the jewellery.
Tips
First of all, you should know that your diamond jewellery needs to be checked by a professional jeweller at least once a year. He will look through the prongs and mountings. These are the ones that hold your stone in its place. When checked properly, you can be sure that your diamond will not fall and get lost. Always try and purchase the special cleaning liquid used for jewellery cleaning. Be sure to check on the instructions if the cleaner is suitable for diamond jewellery. Today, you can also access special ultra-sonic cleansers that use high frequency waves to clean diamond jewellery. This equipment is available in various type and price ranges. So, if you find it practical to install such equipment at home, do ensure that you select the one that is most appropriate for your jewellery. Remember that only by cleaning your jewellery regularly will it keep sparkling brilliantly.
Some precautions you need to consider
When cleaning, try not to touch the stone with your fingers, and handle the diamond ring or necklace by the edges. When you do physical exercises, you should take off your diamond jewellery thus, you will also prevent it from being scratched. If you like the colour of your diamond, then make sure that it does not come into contact with household cleansers like, for example, bleach. These cleaners can not only change the colour of your diamond but the colour of the settings and mountings that hold it as well. Due to our everyday movement, diamonds on jewellery get smudged and soiled. Even if you do not wear diamond jewellery, it attracts dust. A negative impact on the diamond is made by natural human skin oils. These can cause a build-up of grime, and thus, negatively influence the lustre of the diamond.
Storing your diamond
If you do not wear your diamond jewellery for a length of time, you should store it in a jewellery box and keep it apart from other jewellery. In fact every piece of diamond jewellery should have its own, individual place. This way you will protect your diamond from being scratched as well as from damaging other diamond jewellery pieces.
