How can you protect your gold and diamonds?

Because of their beauty, diamonds require proper care and handling when you keep them.
Because some diamond jewelry can't be worn every day, as they are extravagant and not suitable for casual outfits, they need to be stored and kept properly.
Because of their hardness and weight, a diamond can only be damaged by another diamond. To ensure that they remain scratch-free, diamonds should be kept in their original box, a soft pouch or a specially designed jewelry box, separate from other jewelry.
It's best to avoid wearing jewelry while swimming, showering, sleeping, gardening or working.
If you decide to wear diamond jewelry more often, you should keep in mind that it requires cleaning every 6 months.

Why? Because their shine can be affected over time by cosmetics, perfume, soap, detergents and other substances you come into contact with.
