Try not to touch the stones in your ornament when putting them on or taking them off. Each time the stones are touched, a layer of oily film is applied to the top of the stones. So, take ornaments of and on by holding the shank. Doing so will prevent a greasy build up on the stone’s surface, that greatly reduces the brilliance and sparkle of a stone.

To keep ornaments sparkling, get into habit of huffing them. This is a little trick we use to remove the dirt and oily film on the surface of stone. Simply, hold the ring close to your mouth, huff on it with your breath and wipe it off with a soft, lint free cloth.

Never wear your ornaments while sleeping in the bed or doing household chores such as kneading the dough, washing clothes and cleaning jobs as stones can come out or even break. Diamond, the hardest mineral found on the earth, can be chipped or even broken by a blow in particular directions.

Avoid contact with chlorine, the principle ingredient in many bleaches, household cleaners and swimming pool disinfectants. Chlorine can cause pitting and discoloration of the stones and metal used in the ornament.

Don’t carelessly toss the jewelry in a box. Diamonds can scratch other gemstones very easily and can also scratch each other. Each piece should be kept in a soft pouch or individually wrapped in tissues or soft pouch.
