Diamonds may be a girl's best friend, but proper care and cleaning are the most valuable companions to diamonds.
Host Jackie Guerra and guest Marion Halfacre cover a few diamond do's and don'ts.
Cleaning agents: soft soap or mild detergent, window cleaner, toothpaste.
Where to clean: over a bowl, not an open drain! Make sure to rinse very well over the bowl.
It is definitely safe to scrub a diamond: use a toothbrush and scrub hard to loosen dirt. It won’t harm the metal. Avoid using steel wool.
Never put your ring in hot water and boil it. That is the worst thing you could do.
Have your ring checked often to be sure the prongs are snug. Our active lifestyles are hard on all jewelry. This service is free at a reputable jewelry store.
