What's the best way to clean and care for a diamond?

Diamonds are a girl's best friend and they're no stranger to men either. Because they are so expensive, knowing how to care for them properly is an important part of owning them.

To clean your diamond, prepare a bowl of warm water and add a gentle dish soap. Stir the water and soap until it becomes sudsy. Soak the piece of diamond jewelry for about five minutes. After the jewelry has soaked, brush it with a soft bristled toothbrush to get the dirt off. After you have scrubbed the piece, rinse it with clean water and let it dry on a paper towel or in a colander.

In order to avoid damage to your diamond and to prevent your diamond from becoming excessively dirty, avoid wearing your diamond when cooking, doing yard work and performing other harsh activities. With proper care and maintenance, your diamond should last you forever.

Your diamond jewlery should come with a cloth that cleans dimonds, if not use the advice above.

You can also use your toothpaste and soft tooth brush (as mentioned above) to give a sparkling shine to your diamond jewelry.
