For many people, diamonds are amongst their most valuable assets. Whether part of an heirloom piece of jewelry, or held in a safety deposit box, diamonds are treasures.

1. Handle your diamonds sparinglyAlthough diamonds can be captivating to look at, if you handle them too frequently, grease from your fingers, makeup, and countless other household and environmental chemicals that you come in contact with every day will transfer onto them. These chemicals and oils not only make your diamonds look and feel dirty, but many are corrosive, and over time can damage the diamond, as well as the metals that hold them in place. You should keep your diamond jewelry safely hidden away, with proper storage, and keep the handling to a minimum. Avoid exposing your diamonds to household chemicals like sunscreen, shampoo, soap, and hair products.

2. Be gentle with themAlthough diamond is the hardest natural substance on Earth, diamonds are not immune to small chips and cracks, which can ruin the stone. Diamond jewelry should never be worn at the gym or while playing any kind of a sport. You should take your precious jewelry off if you’re doing housework, or any activity that could lead to bumps on furniture or other scratches. Remember, too, that diamonds can damage other materials that they come in contact with around the house or office.
