Diamond Care
Diamonds are the hardest substance on earth...
They are uniquely resistance to damage by heat or scratching, and can be cut or polished only by another diamond.
However, 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. We suggest periodic cleanings to keep the diamond brilliant and refractive.
Maintenance...
Cleaning Your Diamond - A solution of one part ammonia and six parts water can be used to clean diamond jewellery at home. If cleaning by hand, gentle scurbbing with a soft cloth should loosen most dirt and greatly increase the brilliance of the diamond, but be careful not to scratch the metal of your setting. Once a year it is a good idea to have your diamond cleaned professionally and have the security of the setting checked.
Storing your Diamond Jewellery - We recommend that you store your diamond jewellery in the professional packaging supplied by nirvana diamonds and cover or wrap in a nirvana diamonds cleaning cloth - provided to you free of charge in your welcome pack.
