DIAMOND CARE
Diamonds must be kept clean and be stored carefully when they are not being worn, or are being packed for travel. Because most people wear their engagement ring 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, it's essential that you're always mindful of its care. Here are some more guidelines to help keep your diamond in top condition:

1- Avoid wearing your diamonds while doing housework, yard work or any other kind of rough work. Even though a diamond is extremely durable, a hard blow could chip it.
2- When doing household chores, never allow your jewelry to come into contact with chlorine bleach.
3- If you notice a loose stone setting, stones moving or any other noticeable damage to your jewelry, do not wear the jewelry until you have taken it to a professional jeweler. We recommend that you have a jeweler check the setting in your diamond ring (while you watch) once a year.
4- When you're not wearing your diamonds, be sure to store them in a fabric-lined case or in a box with dividers or separate compartments-diamonds can scratch other jewelry as well as each other.

CLEANING YOUR DIAMONDS
Diamonds, like anything else, get smudget, soiled and dusty. Lotions powders, soap--even the natural ails from your skin--will create a film on diamonds, which will reduce their brilliance. In addition, chemicals in the air will oxidize or discolor the mounting. Keeping your jewelry clean will maximize its brilliance. Here are four ways sidero.com.tr suggests you clean your diamonds;

* Detergent Bath
Prepare a small bowl of warm suds using any mild household liquid detergent (be sure not use any cleaners containing chlorine). Brush the jewelry with a soft brush until you have created a lather around it. With the jewelry on aplastic or metal strainer, rinse off with warm water (be sure not to clean your jewelry over the drain). Path your jewelry dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.

* Cold Water Soak
Make a solution of 4 part cold-water and 1 part very mild dishwashing detergent. Soak the piaces for several minutes. Lift out and tap gently arounds all sides of the mounting with a soft brush. Rinse the pieces in the solution once more and drain on tissue paper.

* Quick-Dip Method
Buy one of the brand name liquid jewelry cleaners, choosing the one that is best for the kind of stones and metals in your jewelry. Read the label carefully and follow the insructions. Do not touch your clean diamonds with your fingers, as the oils from your hands will leave a film on the stone.

* The Ultrasonic Cleaer
There are many types of these small machines available to the public today. They will clean any piece of jewelry than can be soaked in a liquid within a matter of minutes. These machines often have a metal cup, which is filled with water and detergent. When the machine is turned on, a high-frequency turbulence is created. Avoid putting emeralds in ultrasonic cleaners.

NOTe: Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and warnings before using these machines. The above methods are not appropriate for pearls, opals, lapis, corals and many other gems. A very quick dip in plain lukewarm water is suggested for these fragile pieces.

TRAVELLING WITH JEWELRY
Packing your precious diamond jewelry for traveling should be done with utmost care. There are many types of jewelry carrying cases that are specifically designed for jewelry travel, available in all price ranges, sizes, shapes and patterns. Most have velvet pads inside to attach pins and earrings with special compartments for bracelets and necklaces.
