If you don’t want to try just anything with your diamonds, because they do cost a bomb, clean and store them right.

Not a Shiny Rock

Your diamonds cost a bomb, but with regular wear you will find the once shinny rock, now looking dull and lustreless. This is because everyday lotions, dirt, soap, powder and even the natural oils from your skin can form a film over your diamonds will make them lose their shine. The shine of the diamonds depends on the amount of light that passes through, so a film of dirt obstructs the light making it lose the lustre

If you want to make your diamonds looks shiny and new again, you can do two things

1.Use a soft tooth brush and warm water to gently clean it. But don’t forget to wipe it dry.

2. Give them to your jeweller to clean it up professionally.

Not in the Pool

The chemical reactions of chlorine and bleaches with your jewellery can ruin it. So take out all your pieces, including your mangalsutra and wedding band before you entire a pool, hot tub or use bleach to whiten that shirt.

Household Chores

While dusting or gardening, the dust and mud can stick in the prongs of your diamond jewellery and make them look old, dirty and dull. So take out your jewellery while doing these tasks.

Remember that your ring, apart from getting soap stuck in while doing the dishes can also slip out of your hand get lost, or go down the drain! To avoid all the chaos that will cause, take out your jewellery before getting your hands wet and keep the safe in your cupboard.
 
Soap stuck in your jewellery can make it look old so take it all off before heading for a shower or even using a face wash.

No Sprays Please

When you head out, you put on your diamond bracelet, necklace and earring, and then you spray on your favourite perfume. But the chemicals in your perfume can turn your jewellery black!
