Your diamond has a few natural enemies, and they may be hiding in your bathroom cabinet.
Lotions, oils, cosmetics, soap, and everyday grime can build up on diamond jewelry, leaving a film that interferes with the way light enters and reflects from the stone. Translation: less sparkle.
A few simple habits can help:
đź’Ž Put jewelry on after applying lotions, cosmetics, and hair products.
đź’Ž Remove rings before cleaning, gardening, or other messy jobs.
đź’Ž Give frequently worn diamond jewelry regular at-home cleanings using a method appropriate for the piece.
đź’Ž Have your jewelry professionally inspected and cleaned periodically.
