Although diamonds have high hardness and indestructible function, they also have a fragile side, so they cannot be violently hit during use. If it is not properly maintained, the diamond will be smashed into pieces, but under the condition of slow pressure, the compressive strength of the diamond is the greatest. Therefore, I will definitely learn to use and maintain diamonds. We all know that real gold is not afraid of fire. This is enough to show that gold is pure and stable, even if it is burned with fire, it will not change its true color. So, why is gold for jewelry easy to become dull? This is because the physical and chemical properties of pure gold are very stable in natural state and generally do not change color. However, because jewelry gold is not absolutely pure gold, they all contain a certain proportion of K-number metals such as silver and copper. Under the action of air and other environmental media, these impurity metals will react chemically, forming a gray-black film or mildew on the surface of jewelry, thus making the whole jewelry dull.

Clean diamonds:

In order to make diamonds more shiny, remember to clean them regularly. The following methods are recommended:

Professional cleaning

This is the most thorough cleaning method. You should regularly ask the jeweler to check whether the diamond frame is stable, bent, deformed and faded.

Mild cleaner

Soak the jewelry in warm water containing detergent, and then brush it gently with a soft toothbrush. Rinse the foam with warm water and gently dry it with a soft cloth. Remember to block the drain of the washbasin before cleaning.

Vodka (or gin)

The origin of this method is hard to find, but someone accidentally discovered this innovative diamond cleaning method. When you find yourself overestimating your drinking capacity and don't want to waste the rest of vodka, you might as well dip the diamond in the cup.

Jewelry cleaner

Any brand will do. Please clean the ornaments according to the instructions on the package.

Cleaning jewelry:

Although there are many kinds of diamond jewelry, their maintenance is the same in many aspects, the most important ones are as follows:

(1) Handle with care to avoid collision and friction. Although the hardness of general gemstones is high, it is not easy to wear or destroy, but impact and friction should be avoided as far as possible to prevent their surfaces from cracking or losing luster.

(2) Avoid contact with acid and alkali solutions at high temperature. Many diamonds embedded in jewelry are not very stable in physical and chemical properties, and are easy to fade when exposed to high temperature or sunlight for a long time. Some contact with acid and alkali solutions can also cause discoloration.

(3) Take down the collection in time. Jewelry is an ornament worn according to the principle of T.P.O. T.P.O. is the first letter of English words time, place and object respectively. T stands for time, and it also stands for seasons and seasons. P stands for occasion, place and position; O stands for purpose, goal and object. It means that wearing jewelry should be considered in combination with the above aspects. Of course, it should be based on gender, age, skin color, manners and other conditions in order to fully reflect the decorative beauty. When you don't need to wear it, you should take it off in time and keep it properly. For example, when taking part in sports activities, taking a bath and doing housework, the jewelry should be taken off to avoid damage (impact, wear, diamond falling off, or corrosion by chemicals in detergent). Many people find it troublesome to put it on and take it off from time to time, but if you don't do this, you will pay the price for the life of the diamond ornaments.

(4) Clean and save in time. When the diamond ornaments are not worn for the time being, they must be cleaned in time to save them. Diamonds are highly oleophilic, easy to be contaminated with oil stains, and their luster is dim, so that dust and oil stains accumulate in every corner of diamond ornaments, which seriously affects their luster. In fact, it is not difficult to clean the diamond ornaments. Take a bowl of warm water, add a few drops of neutral detergent, and then gently wipe the diamond ornaments with cotton (or a small brush, such as an old toothbrush). After the dirt is washed away, it is washed in another bowl of clear water, and then dried in a ventilated place, so that the diamond ornaments can restore their original bright appearance. Necklaces, earrings, pendants and other places with switches or spring devices should also be cleaned and lubricated in time to keep them clean and flexible. After the jewelry is processed, put it in a jewelry box for preservation. When placing, it is advisable to put the diamond upward, and do not contact with other items. If there is no jewelry box, you can wrap it in a clean soft cloth for preservation. Don't put multiple pieces of jewelry together in a box, and don't wrap multiple pieces of jewelry with soft cloth, so as to avoid mutual wear between jewelry.
