Unless you do both, your diamond jewelry will lose its value and shine. So here are some tips you can use to keep your diamond jewelry really last forever:
The first tip is on how to wear diamond jewelry properly. The chemicals in the cleaners can actually erode a diamond.
Next tip is on how to store your diamond pieces. Always have a separate storage area for each of your diamond pieces. One point you should always keep in mind, never keep your diamond jewelry and your pearl jewelry together; pearls are very delicate and get scratched easily and diamond being the toughest can easily do that.
Store properly, If your goal is to keep your precious pieces in good condition, then your best bet is to store them in an appropriate jewelry box or cabinet.
You can lose a valuable piece if you don't take this maintenance tip seriously as wear and tear can make the jewelry weak and vulnerable. Your jeweler will also thoroughly clean the piece for you as well.
One of the ways a professional jeweler cleans your diamond jewelry is by using an ultrasonic cleanser. This vibrates the fluid which is turn removes all accumulated grime and dirt from the diamond pieces.

Regular cleanings, Avoid chemical cleaners and abrasives (believe it or not, bleach can actually cause diamonds to yellow) and stick to a simple solution of rubbing alcohol and water (at about a 1:10 ratio). You can use a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub out dirt, then a soft cloth to dry and buff.
The simplest way to care for your diamond jewelry at home is to wash it with ammonia based cleaner. If the diamond is very small, use your eyebrow brush for cleaning it. If the diamonds are in some vintage jewelry or estate jewelry, use a soft piece of cloth instead of a brush to clean the diamond. The oil and sweat from your skin especially tarnish the brilliance of a diamond; so wash the underside of the diamond which directly touches the skin.
Pay for appraisals. You wouldn’t buy a house without first having an appraisal of the value conducted. It will also make pieces easy to insure
Get insurance. If a few items carry a particularly hefty price tag, you may even want to store them in a safe deposit box.
Mum’s the word. There’s no better way to raise the wrong kind of interest in your diamonds than to flash them around and pronounce their dollar value. You’ll look a lot better wearing your best pieces if you sport an attendant attitude of maturity and confidence.
