Diamonds are Special and They Need Special Care

From all accounts we have read thus far, we know that diamonds are the hardest of all elements known to man. That however, doesn’t mean that diamond jewellery doesn’t need any care. If you take proper care of these, they will last you a lifetime.

Diamonds Don’t Like Each Other

Diamonds are so hard but some are harder compared to others, so what that means is if you place two diamonds close together, one will scratch the other! Then of course there are metals to consider. If you must keep diamonds with other jewellery be sure to place it separately with a cloth in between to prevent each other from touching.



Cleaning Jewels with Soap and Brush

Jewellery cleaners can be bought off the shelves dime a dozen but you don’t even need them. All you will ever need is a brush, some water and a little time to let your jewellery soak in the soap-water mixture. Once it has been soaked enough gently brush over the surface for a while and that should take care of everything.

Check for loose rocks

When you keep jewellery without wearing it for months at end, some stones tend to become loose and when that happens, an important rock may slip out of the casing without your knowledge. Given the worth of diamonds, you will incur a huge loss if that ever happens.

Having your diamond jewellery timely checked for loose pieces of rocks isn’t a bad thing to do. And it doesn’t cost a lot as well, so take your pieces to the jeweler and have him take a look at it.

  1. The generally accepted international standard within the jewellery industry for grading diamonds and gem stones is 10x. I0x magnifies 10 times Diamonds are graded for clarity at 10X.. If an inclusion during a diamond cannot be seen by a trained eye at 10X, the flaw doesn't exist for the aim of grading clarity. A 10X triplet loupe with achromatic lenses is that the traditional loupe within the jewellery industry.. The triplet has three lenses which greatly reduce or entirely eliminates distortion with any color aberrations , compared to at least one lens or doublet loupes. 10x magnifies ten times, 20x 20 times and 30x magnifies 30 times. The image you see, if the quality of the loupe is that an equivalent , is just as clear altogether three magnifications. 10x and 20x jewelers loupes are now also available illuminated with bright white LED illumination, a replacement and positive addition to jewelers loupes.
