requires care

YOUR FINE jewelry is a precious
possession that requires proper
care to ensure its lasting qualities.

And the Canadian Jewellers
Association has the following tips
on the care and cleaning of fine
jewelry to ensure it is always at its
best.

Diamonds:
e Although a diamond is durable,
it can be chipped by a hard blow,
so don't wear your diamond when
you're playing sports or doing
rough work.
¢ Don’t let your diamond come in
contact with strong chlorine
bleach. It won't hurt the diamond,
but it can pit or discolor the
mounting.
* Don’t jumble your diamond
pieces in a jewel case. They can
scratch other jewelry and cach
other. Place them in a small plastic
bag or pouch or wrap in tissue
paper.

* Do see your jeweller at least
once a year to have your precious
jewelery checked for loose prongs
and any signs of wear. The jeweller
will usually give them a_profes-
sional shine-up at the same time.

Cleaning diamonds

Diamonds get smudged, soiled
and dusty. Lotions, powders,
soaps, even natural skin oils, put a
film on diamonds ~— especially at
the back -—- making them look
somewhat dull and lifeless.

Here are four ways to clean your
diamonds and keep them their
brilliant best:
® Detergent bath ~- Prepare a
small bow! of lukewarm suds using

LEE

any mild liquid detergent and
water,

Brush the pieces with an
eyebrow brush or soft toothbrush
while they are in the suds, then
rinse them under running water.
Pat dry with a soft lintless cloth.
¢ Cold water soak — Make a
half-and-half solution of cold
water and household ammonia in a
cup.

Soak the diamond pieces 30
minutes. Gently brush with an old
soft toothbrush and swish in the
solution once more. Rinse and dry
as mentioned before.
