Here are some useful tips:

• Keep each piece of diamond jewellery separate - diamonds can scratch each other, and other jewellery.
• Keep diamond jewellery in a fabric-lined jewellery case or in a box with compartments or dividers.
• Never wear diamonds when doing rough work. Even though a diamond is durable it can be chipped by a hard blow.
• Clean diamonds regularly using either commercial jewellery cleaner or a solution of one part ammonia and six parts water. Dip the jewellery into the solution and use a soft brush to loosen any dirt that has accumulated under the setting. This will greatly increase the brilliance of your diamond.
• Never let diamonds some into contact with bleach or other chemicals as they can pit or discolour the setting.

All diamond jewellery should be checked at least once a year for signs of accidental damage, to claws for example - we will do this with any diamond purchased from Eric G Milton , and will offer our advice and recommendations free of charge.
