How To Take Care Of Your Diamond Ring

Certain possessions never go out of style. Diamonds are a timeless investment and can be passed down through generations. As a result, it’s only fitting to take extra care of your possessions. Take great care of your beautiful diamond jewellery by following these tips:

• First and foremost, handle with care! Diamond jewellery should be handled with love because they are precious and should be treated as such. When taking it off or wearing the jewellery, be gentle. Avoid holding the diamond by itself and use the band to take off or put on your ring gently.
• Storing your diamond jewellery carefully goes a long way. Once you are done adoring your precious possessions, be sure to store them in a cool, dry place, preferably away from other jewellery to not damage them.
• Gentle home cleaning can be carried out with a mixture of soapy water and a soft-bristle brush. Just soak the ring in the water for 10-15 minutes to get rid of the dirt and grime which can accumulate in your diamond jewellery. 
• Remember to bring your diamond jewellery in for a professional cleaning every 6 months. We are here to guide you through the process of polishing your diamonds and to ensure that the jewellery remains shining brightly.
• Always wear your jewellery last and take it off first. Perfume, hairspray and other harsh chemicals can damage your jewellery so it’s advised to wear your jewellery at the very end while you get ready and take it off first thing when you return home. 
• Diamonds are not suitable for every environment – if you are heading for a long beach vacay it’s best to leave your precious jewellery at home. This helps in retaining the beauty of it for longer and gives you peace of mind while you enjoy your holiday. 

So if you’re looking for a diamond that is eco-friendly, conflict-free, and affordable, a lab grown diamond ring is the perfect choice.
