Caring for your Jewelry - Heart In Diamond

Apart from the natural beauty and careful craftsmanship that goes into each and every piece of precious jewelry, one of the most important reasons why gems and precious metals are so valuable is the fact that they can last a very long time. Of course, this will only be true if you take good care of your jewelry, however.

Limiting exposure to light, heat, and humidity is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your jewelry. Using a proper jewelry case is the most advisable way of doing this, as such cases also prevent jewelry from scratching up against other pieces. (Even diamonds can be scratched by other diamonds, after all.)

Last but not least, cleaning is important -- this should be done with water and smooth towel or rag to prevent scratching or damage.
