Diamond rings are beautiful things to have and if you treat them properly they can last for a lifetime (and beyond!). It is important to look after them, so read on for our advice on keeping a diamond ring in good condition. One thing you should always make sure to do with diamond rings is to store them carefully. Diamond is a hard substance and so doesnt scratch easily, but if they are stored with other jewelry then the band might be damaged, so reduce the risk and keep them separate.

Handling your diamond ring carefully might sound like common sense, but they can very easily become lost and sometimes damaged so it is definitely worth paying attention and keeping an eye on your ring when you have it with you. For instance, if you are doing the washing up it would be a good idea to remove your ring to stop it getting lost in the sink. It is also a good idea to be generally careful about when and where you wear your ring.

Occasionally, you might find that your diamond ring becomes a little bit dirty or grimy. If this is the case, you should fill a bowl with warm water and mix in a little mild detergent. Then use a soft brush (no bristles or anything that could be abrasive) to carefully clean your ring. Once it is clean, rinse it off in clear water and pat it dry with a lint-free cloth. Alternatively, leave it to dry naturally in the air to keep it fresh and sparkling.

As mentioned above, diamonds are very hard and so dont damage easily, but it is always worth checking your ring occasionally to make sure it hasnt been damaged by anything. Keep a look out for cracks in the diamond or any faults in their metal setting as if the setting deteriorates, the diamond could fall out and become lost. Also make sure you check the band regularly for any abrasions so you can keep them to a minimum and your ring in good condition.

One last thing to remember is that if anything happens to your diamond ring, take it to the jeweler, who will be able to fix the vast majority of damage. For example, they can repair the diamond setting to make sure the ring stays in one piece and they can also buff the metal band of the ring to make it as shiny as the diamond itself. Most damage can be fixed so if in doubt, get it looked at to help ensure your diamond ring stays in good condition.
