Take Good Care
Although diamonds are the hardest natural substance known to man, a hard blow could still chip one, so don't wear your ring when doing rough work. Avoid direct contact with chlorine bleach, and chlorinated pool water, which would pit and discolor the mounting.
To clean your jewelry, regularly soak them for about 30 minutes in either a commercial jewelry cleaner, or a homemade solution comprised of equal parts cold water and ammonia, or a mixture of warm water and mild detergent. Brush the stones gently with an eyebrow brush or soft toothbrush, then rinse thoroughly under warm water and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.
Have your rings checked annually by your jeweler for loose prongs or settings. This is especially important if you have only 4 prongs, because just one broken prong will cause you to lose your stone. These precautions and gentle will pay you back with years of enjoyment and pride in this precious symbol of your union.
