How to prevent diamonds from turning black?
Although the hardness of diamond is very high, it is easy for everyone to wear and maintain it every day, but it still needs a little care to keep the diamond ring beautiful.
1, no makeup, do housework.
There are more or less bleaching substances in our daily cosmetics. Although it will not damage the diamond, it will discolor or fade the ring holder and affect the overall beauty of the diamond ring.
In addition, please take off the diamond ring when we do housework at home, because oil will affect the luster of the diamond. It's best not to wear it when doing sports. Although the hardness of diamond is very high, it is brittle. If we hit something hard, it will be too late for us to regret it.
Step 2 keep it safe
When our diamond ring is not worn for a long time, don't casually put it with other jewels. Not afraid of diamond damage, but afraid of damaging other gems. After all, diamonds are the hardest.
Therefore, everyone must put it in a box alone. If there is a self-sealing bag at home, it can isolate the air and give you an extra layer of protection.
3, regular maintenance
You can regularly send the diamond ring to a jewelry store for maintenance every year, and at the same time, you can check whether the inlay of the ring is loose and worn. After such protection, the damage and loss of the diamond ring can be effectively avoided.
How to maintain diamond ring by yourself
There are some simple ways to maintain a diamond ring, which can make it as bright as new. First, you can pour some professional diamond detergent into disposable paper cups. If not, you can use a neutral detergent instead, such as hand sanitizer, but remember to mix it with water.
When you are ready, put the ring in and soak it for 5- 10 minutes, then take it out and gently clean the surface with a soft brush: finally rinse it with warm water! However, although the operation is relatively simple, there are still several details to pay attention to.
1, toothpaste cannot be used.
You should know that toothpaste contains fine high-hardness abrasive particles. Although these particles are invisible to the naked eye, their hardness is similar to that of crystals. If it is used to rub its surface repeatedly, it is very likely to cause wear.
2. Strong alkaline detergent cannot be used.
Some soaps, soap powder and washing powder are strongly alkaline and cannot be used to clean diamonds. Besides hand sanitizer, baby shampoo can also be used, but these need to be diluted before use.
3. The problem of darkening of the ring holder can be conveniently solved.
At present, the most common material on the market is 18K gold, which is made of 75% gold and 25% other metals. It will darken due to the erosion of oil smoke, dust and dirt, so when you clean the diamond, you can also brush the ring holder conveniently, so that you have a brand-new ring.
