Want Your Diamond To Sparkle? Keep It Clean!
One of the biggest mistakes women make is not cleaning their diamond rings.
Diamonds have a tremendous affinity to the oils of our skin. They are also the center of gravity for the collection of every piece of dirt and grime a woman will come across during her daily routine.
Any time you cook, eat, wash dishes, handle food, etc. the dirt will get trapped in your diamond engagement ring and cake up the stone.
Very soon, you will find that the beautiful and sparkly diamond you purchased will appear dull and lifeless.
How could that be?
Very simple.
Think of the following analogy:
You take a transparent window that has the potential to let sunlight stream into a room, illuminating it beautifully. Now you pull a shade over the window, effectively blocking all sunlight from entering the room. Is there something wrong with the window? Did something happen to it? Of course not! You are simply preventing it from letting in the light.
It is exactly the same with your diamond engagement ring, just in reverse!
A perfectly cut Ideal diamond engagement ring, will refract maximum light entering the stone back out to the eye in a dazzling display of brilliance. However, if the stone is caked with dirt and grime, you are literally "pulling a shade' over the diamond and preventing the stone from refracting the light properly and effectively.
As a result, the diamond will "appear" dull and lifeless until you bother to clean it, bringing back its original beauty and brilliancy.
So how do you clean your diamond ring? Well, my Dad blogged on this some time ago over here.
How about the "no-no's" when it comes to properly maintaining the hygiene of your diamond engagement ring..;-)??
Are there any specific activities you ought to avoid?
Well, I just saw a really cute posting by Sean Dunn of J.R. Dunn Jewelers, with a list of items to avoid when attempting to keep your diamond ring clean!
