It’s said that diamonds are forever. Today we’re going to look at a few maintenance tips to help ensure that not only will your diamond rings last forever – they’ll look beautiful forever!
Routine Maintenance
Just like a doctor’s physical or dentist appointment, you should schedule regular check-ups for your diamond rings – especially the ones you wear the most like engagement rings and wedding bands. A good jeweler will check to make sure the mountings are tight and the prongs solid. If they’re loose or worn, make sure to have them repaired to ensure you don’t lose any of those precious gems!
Diamond Storage
Diamonds should always be stored properly when not being worn. Diamonds should be kept in a cloth lined jewelry box to avoid scratches and damage to the setting. It’s best to store each diamond item separately so as to avoid the diamond causing any damage to other, easily damaged jewels.
An Ounce of Prevention
As a rule, physical labor and diamond rings don’t mix well. SuperJeweler suggests you remove your diamond rings (as well as other fine jewelry) when working with your hands. This will prevent any damage to the gold, silver, or platinum setting. This will also help you to avoid the loosening of the setting due to rough treatment. In addition, it’s very important that you remove your jewelry before working with household chemicals. Many cleaning supplies can cause chemical reactions and discoloration to every part of your ring – including the diamond.

My grandmother recently gave me a beautiful diamond ring for my birthday. It is pretty old and it has been in our family for a while, so I want to make sure that I take care of it. Do you have any tips on taking care of an older ring? I appreciate your advice about preventing wear on a ring and not working with it on. I will keep that in mind as I try to take care of this ring, thank you!
You said that physical labor and diamond rings don’t mix well together. Maybe I should speak with a professional for assistance when I need to get my wife’s ring maintained. It might be a good idea to speak with the professional about maintaining the ring when it has been cleaned.
Thanks for sharing this informative article. This will help me a lot.
Thanks for pointing out that we must not wear our jewelry when working with our hands to keep them from being scratched or damaged. This is the actual reason why the diamond ring that was given to me by my son was damaged. I was gardening that time when I hit the shovel on the ring which why it has a dent on it now. I hope I can still get it fixed.

With the government shutdown in my city and all the house work that it has resulted in, I’ve stopped wearing my ring while being at home to save it from wear and tear. Hopefully my ring will be nice and shiny when all this is over 🙂
