How Strong is a Diamond?
Diamonds are so strong that they are commonly used as cutting implements for perforating tough materials which includes other diamonds. Diamonds can damage your other jewelry so always store your diamond rings separately.
While a diamond itself might not be as easily damaged as other less durable stones, a diamond is often most vulnerable at its setting.
The highest quality metal should be used for your diamond's setting because it can become loose from inferior metal, or from inept mixing of metals. No doubt your diamond ring is very precious to you and it would be a shame to lose your diamond because of its setting.
Harsh Chemicals Can Damage Diamonds
Your ring can also become damaged by some of the harsh cleaning products that you might use working in the home and garden. Wearing gloves to protect your diamond is helpful, but to be safe, it is best to put your ring somewhere safe while working with chemicals.
You can keep your diamond ring looking as bright as the day you purchased it by cleaning any build up of debris using a special jewelry cleanser. Take your diamond ring to the jeweler for a professional cleaning every six months to a year or so.
While diamonds are, without question, one of the hardest, strongest and most durable substances known to man, diamond rings nonetheless require and deserves the right kind of loving care to keep them safe, and to ensure that they always look their best.
To keep your diamond ring in beautiful condition, you can deliver it to your jeweler once or twice a year to have it professionally maintained. The staff at your jewelry store will clean your diamond ring and check for loose settings, ensuring that your ring continues to look its very best.
