Jewelry Care
1. Regular Cleaning
To maintain the sparkle of your diamond jewelry, clean it regularly. We provide a complimentary cleaning cloth with every purchase from llustrious Diamonds. Use this soft cloth to gently polish your jewelry, removing dirt and oils. For a deeper clean, use a mild soap solution with warm water and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals, as they can damage the metal and stones.
2. Safe Storage
Store your diamond jewelry separately in a soft pouch or a lined jewelry box to prevent scratches and damage. For added protection, use the cleaning cloth provided by Illustrious Diamonds or anti-tarnish strips for metal parts.
3. Avoid Harsh Conditions
Although diamonds are highly durable, they can still chip or crack under extreme conditions. Remove your jewelry when engaging in physical activities, such as sports or gardening, or when using chemicals like household cleaners. These can damage both the diamonds and the metal settings.
4. Regular Inspections
Inspect your jewelry regularly for loose stones, worn prongs, or other damage. We recommend having your jewelry professionally inspected and cleaned at least once a year. This helps maintain its beauty and ensures that all settings are secure.
5. Avoid Prolonged Exposure to Water and Heat
Prolonged exposure to water, especially chlorinated or salty water, can affect the metal settings of your jewelry. Heat can cause expansion, leading to potential damage. Always remove your jewelry before swimming or using saunas and hot tubs.
6. Proper Handling
Handle your jewelry by the band or chain rather than the stone to minimize the risk of loosening the setting. This practice helps preserve the integrity of the piece.
7. Insurance and Appraisal
Consider insuring your valuable pieces and getting regular appraisals. This not only offers financial protection but also ensures that you have an up-to-date record of your jewelry's value and characteristics.
By following these guidelines, you can keep your diamond jewelry from Illustrious Diamonds looking as stunning as the day you received it. For further assistance or to book a professional cleaning, please contact our customer service.
