Jewelry Care and Maintenance
You may assume that newly purchased diamond jewelry will retain its shine and beauty for years to come. However, as time passes, your diamond jewelry could lose its luster and become worn if not cared for properly.
At JewelSmiths we want be your full service jeweler by helping you maintain the quality and brilliance of your diamond jewelry. We offer these suggestions.
- Clean your jewelry frequently to avoid the build up of dirt, which may hasten wear. Ask us how to clean items properly.
- Have JewelSmiths inspect your valuables at least annually for any loose settings, faulty links, etc. A prong that is loose, worn or catches on fabric may cause the stone to fall out of the setting. Have the item checked by us immediately if you suspect a problem.
- When not wearing your jewelry, place each item in a separate soft compartment or container. If cluttered together, jewelry can become scratched.
- Avoid heavy blows to your diamond. Even though it's among the hardest of all materials, diamonds can chip if struck at the right angle.
A tennis bracelet is more vulnerable to wear than most jewelry because it's comprised of many diamonds and hinged links. In addition to observing the recommendations above to prolong the life of your bracelet, make sure it fits your arm correctly. Generally, loose fitting bracelets wear more rapidly.
