Diamonds need care to keep them at their best. A clean diamond reflects light better than one that has been dulled by cosmetics, grease or soap. Hand lotions and hair styling products when applied may prevent a diamond from sparkling. These materials may form a layer of filth on the back of the stone if cleaning is not frequent. Do not wear your diamond ring while doing rough work and avoid allowing your jewellery to come into contact with chemicals as this may lead to the discolouration of the setting. It is advisable to take your jewellery for a professional polish and clean every year.
Storing your diamond properly is very important. Place your diamond in a jewellery box that contains dividers for best storage.
