 The Need for Consistent Maintenance for Diamond Jewellery

Despite being the hardest natural material, diamonds can be broken. Regular use may result in:

accumulation of dust, oils, and lotions

Prongs or settings that are loose

Gold/platinum metal components that have scratches on them

Beauty and value are maintained through careful storage and routine cleaning.
