One of the rarest and most exquisite materials found in nature are diamonds. According to legend, the first diamonds were found in India thousands of years ago. As a sign of chastity, love, and affection, these stones have traditionally been used to embellish jewellery for royalty and the affluent. They are now more frequently used in traditional and ornamental jewellery for weddings, anniversaries, and other special events across the world.

Some of the most exquisite and emotional items you will ever possess are your diamond jewellery sets online. To select the ideal pieces, you or a loved one spent many hours comparing the designs, materials, and costs. Once you do, you hope they will last a lifetime, and with the right maintenance, they should.

The Dos: Regularly clean your diamond jewellery.

We advise you to take your diamond jewellery to your jeweller for routine cleanings for diamond rings, necklaces, pendants, and earrings. On cut diamonds, substances like lotion, soap, body oils, and grime accumulate very easily and might be challenging to clean off at home. You may soak your diamond jewellery in warm water for around 30 minutes, softening any filth and debris with a few drops of dishwashing detergent. This can be done between professional cleanings. Close the sink drain before washing your jewellery under warm water and carefully cleaning the diamond with a soft bristles brush. Do not clean your diamond jewellery with strong solvents like bleach.

·        If your item has a variety of various types of stones, notably uncut diamonds or polki jewellery, we advise you to have a jeweller thoroughly clean the finely created jewellery. Your ancestral jewellery will remain immaculate and endure for many generations if the jeweller uses the proper materials and procedures.

Plan a yearly maintenance inspection.

·        We advise you to take your diamond jewellery to the jeweller at least once a year to have it checked for loose or fractured stones as well as bent or worn prongs and mountings.

Get insurance.

·        Nothing is worse than spending a lot of money on a gorgeous piece of jewellery only to have it stolen, broken, or lost and not being able to mend or replace it. Make it a point to get your jewelry's worth assessed and insured when you buy diamond jewellery. Repeat these evaluations every few years because the value of diamonds and gold frequently rises over time.

·        Additionally, you should request a proof of authenticity from the vendor attesting to the calibre of your diamonds, ideally from a third-party laboratory. Most of the diamond jewellery items we sell at Swarajshop Jewellers are accompanied by certificates from the International Gemological Institute (IGI), an independent, global organisation that grades and values gems. Why Buying Diamond Jewellery With A Certificate Matters is a good read recommendation.

Keep your jewellery in a safe place.

·        We advise keeping your diamond jewellery in a secure, simple-to-remember location while not being worn, such as a jewellery box or ring holder.

·        To prevent it from tangling or breaking while you're away, pack your jewellery in a soft velvet or cotton case.

·        To lessen the possibility of a chemical reaction or oxidation, uncut diamond jewellery should be maintained wrapped in thin cotton fabric in a secure area away from direct contact to air.

When doing household chores, take off your diamond jewellery.

You should take off your gold and diamond jewellery before using aggressive cleaning solutions to prevent harm to them. Gold may be damaged by bleach, and porous stones like pearls, rubies, emeralds, turquoise, and lapis lazuli are vulnerable to deterioration or dissolution by certain chemicals.

Never directly spritz perfume or other substances on your jewellery.

·        Before putting on your jewellery, spritz on some perfume. In addition to making your diamonds and settings into dust collectors, spraying it on afterwards can damage the gold itself by discolouring or turning it black.

When engaging in strenuous or water activities, avoid wearing diamond jewellery.

·        Take off any jewellery that might become filthy or misplaced, react with chemicals in the pool or hot tub, get struck or snagged on something during rigorous sports activities, or react with chemicals. Even though diamonds are among the toughest materials known to man, a solid blow might cause your stone to become loose or even break!

Don't remove your jewellery in front of others.

·        It might be tempting at times, especially if you're a new bride or groom, to take off your jewellery or wedding band in front of other people so you can admire it, play with it, or "protect" it from soap when washing your hands. This makes it quite simple to misplace or overlook your component, though. We advise you to wait to remove your jewellery until you get home so you can store it safely because it is quite valuable and expensive.

Keep your jewellery in good storage.

·        When you're busy, it's simple to forget where you put your jewellery, pile it up in your jewellery box or handbag, or just scatter it over the home.

Wearing diamond jewellery daily is not advised.

We do not advise wearing your fine jewellery every day, although you may wear some pieces, such as your wedding band or a set of earrings, frequently. Your jewellery may need additional cleaning and upkeep if you wear it more frequently to keep it in good condition.
