Caring for Your Diamond Jewelry
Diamonds are known for their hardness, but they still require proper care to maintain their brilliance. To keep your diamonds looking their best, avoid exposing them to harsh chemicals and store them separately from other gemstones to prevent scratching. Regular cleaning with mild soapy water and a soft brush will help maintain their sparkle. For intricate pieces, consider professional cleanings to ensure they remain in top condition.
