How Strong is a Diamond?

Diamonds are so strong that they are commonly used as cutting implements for perforating tough materials which includes other diamonds. Diamonds can damage your other jewelry so always store your diamond rings separately.

You can keep your diamond ring looking as bright as the day you purchased it by cleaning any build up of debris using a special jewelry cleanser. Take your diamond ring to the jeweler for a professional cleaning every six months to a year or so.

Have Your Diamonds and Setting Checked Periodically

And finally, to keep your diamond ring in beautiful condition, you can deliver it to your jeweler once or twice a year to have it professionally maintained.
