Skydiamond has revolutionised the jewellery market, offering beauty and sustainability in one. Thanks to advancements in technology—especially those developed at our Skydiamond Lab—these diamonds are identical to mined diamonds in appearance, composition, and brilliance. However, like their natural counterparts, they require proper care to stay looking their best.
Here’s your comprehensive guide to caring for your Skydiamond.
Daily Care Tips
Handling Your Diamonds
The oils from your skin can affect the brilliance of your diamonds. When handling your jewellery, try to hold the edges of the piece or the metal setting rather than the stone itself. This will help maintain its sparkle and reduce the need for frequent cleaning.
Storage Solutions
Store your diamond jewellery in a fabric-lined jewellery case or keep it in a box with dividers to prevent pieces from rubbing against each other. Contact can lead to scratches, especially if your diamonds share space with harder materials.
Cleaning Techniques
Regular Cleaning
Regular cleaning is essential to keep your Skydiamond in pristine condition. You can clean your jewellery at home using a simple solution of mild dish soap and warm water. Soak the jewellery for 20-30 minutes, then gently brush it with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Rinse under warm running water, and pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Professional Cleaning & Annual Checks
For a thorough cleaning, consider taking your jewellery to a professional at least once a year. Jewellers use ultrasonic cleaners and steam to remove embedded dirt and restore the original shine. This is also an excellent opportunity to check for any damage or necessary repairs, especially to ensure the diamond is securely set.
At Skydiamond, we welcome back any of our jewellery pieces for a complimentary annual check and clean.
Avoiding Potential Hazards
Chemical Exposure
Exposure to harsh chemicals can dull the appearance of your diamonds. It’s advisable to remove jewellery during activities like cleaning, swimming, or gardening. Chlorine and abrasive chemicals can damage settings and mountings, potentially loosening the stone—making annual checks even more important.
Extreme Temperatures
Sudden changes in temperature can cause damage. Avoid exposing your jewellery to extreme heat or cold, as this can create internal stresses. Consider removing your Skydiamond jewellery when using spa facilities. Always leave your jewellery in a secure location or at home to avoid damage or loss.
Insurance and Warranty
Securing Insurance
Insurance is crucial for protecting your investment. Most policies cover loss, theft, and damage, so ensure that your insurance reflects the true value of your jewellery and is kept up to date.
Understanding Warranty
Be sure to check your purchase's warranty. At Skydiamond, we currently offer an extended warranty for a period of twelve months from the date of purchase, during which we will repair or replace, free of charge, any jewellery or Skydiamonds that are found to be defective due to improper materials or workmanship, provided they have been used and cared for normally.
Skydiamond is a testament to human ingenuity and ethical responsibility. By following these care guidelines, you ensure that your diamonds remain sparkling for years to come. For more information on our range of products, visit Skydiamond.com.
