Taking Care
Fine jewelry should be treated with care. It is best practice to remove jewelry when coming home, and to put it back on when leaving the house. This can lengthen the life of a piece dramatically, and can lessen the chances of damaging an item.
Diamond Slices
Diamond slices can be particularly delicate, especially in rings; be sure not to put pressure directly on the surface of the stone. Translucent stones with closed backings should not be submerged in water, and should not come into contact with lotions, oils, or creams. Clear diamond slices are especially susceptible to this because of their beautiful translucency and subtle marbling. To clean we recommend a dry, soft toothbrush.
Diamond slices have a hardness of 10.
