Store properly. The worst thing you can do to any type of jewelry is to treat it nonchalantly by leaving it lying around the house. Rings by the sink can easily get knocked in and fall down the drain. Delicate necklaces left in a heap can become tangled and break when you try to sort them out. If your goal is to keep your precious pieces in good condition, then your best bet is to store them in an appropriate jewelry box or cabinet.<\/p>\n<p>2. Regular cleanings. You will likely want to go in for professional cleanings once or twice a year, but in the meantime, you can keep your diamonds sparkling with at-home cleanings (as long as you do it right!). Avoid chemical cleaners and abrasives (believe it or not, bleach can actually cause diamonds to yellow) and stick to a simple solution of rubbing alcohol and water (at about a 1:10 ratio). You can use a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub out dirt, then a soft cloth to dry and buff.<\/p>\n<p>3. Pay for appraisals. You wouldn\u2019t buy a house without first having an appraisal of the value conducted. So <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adiamor.com\/Education\"><strong>when you purchase diamond jewelry<\/strong><\/a>, the first thing you should do is have it appraised and certified. It won\u2019t cost much compared to the value of the jewelry (generally around $25 per piece, possibly less if you have several pieces) and it will ensure that you got what you paid for. It will also make pieces easy to insure.<\/p>\n<p>4. Get insurance. There\u2019s just no reason not to. You likely have homeowners insurance and it\u2019s easy enough to add valuable items in your home to this coverage. If a few items carry a particularly hefty price tag, you may even want to store them in a safe deposit box.<\/p>\n<p>5. Mum\u2019s the word. There\u2019s no better way to raise the wrong kind of interest in your diamonds than to flash them around and pronounce their dollar value. So wear them if you want (you might as well, that\u2019s what they\u2019re for) but resist the urge to brag. You\u2019ll look a lot better wearing your best pieces if you sport an attendant attitude of maturity and confidence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1. Store properly.
