Caring for your
Diamonds

Caring for your Diamonds
Though diamonds are extremely hard, they do need care to
keep them at their sparkling best. A clean diamond not only
reflects the light better, it can actually make a diamond appear
larger. Skin oils, soap and cosmetics can dull a diamond’s
brilliance, as such your diamond deserves regular cleaning for
maximum sparkle.
Cleaning Methods
Caring for diamonds is best not left to trial and error. Knowing
what and what not to do ensures the lasting brilliance of your
diamond.
Diamond Bath - DIY
Simply prepare a small bowl of warm water with any mild liquid
detergent. Brush your jewellery gently with a toothbrush
while they are in the suds. Transfer the items to a wire strainer
and rinse under warm running water. As an added precaution
ensure the plug is in the basin. Pat dry with a soft, lintless
cloth.
Diamond Spa - With the Professionals
Since your Showcase jeweller is a diamond specialist, he or
she can professionally clean your diamond jewellery and at
the same time check the condition of the mount to ensure your
diamonds are secure.

Dos and Don’ts
Do:
• Keep your jewellery in a fabric lined jewellery case with
dividers.
• Take your diamonds to your Showcase jeweller at least once
a year for a check-up. Your jeweller check the jewellery for
loose settings and signs of wear.
• Your Showcase jeweller can also advise you of any
repairs that may be necessary to restore your jewellery
back to its full beauty and value.
Don’t:
• It’s not wise to wear a diamond ring when doing rough
work or doing the dishes. Even though a diamond is
hard it can be chipped by a hard blow along its grain.
• Avoid wearing your diamond jewellery around chlorine
bleach or in a swimming pool as it can pit and discolour the
mounting.
• Don’t throw your diamond jewellery amongst other
jewellery items as it can scratch other jewellery, even
other diamonds.
