Everyone has heard the old adage that "diamonds are a girl's best friend." Marilyn Monroe sang a song about it and appeared in numerous print advertisements for diamond jewelry that had the same mantra spelled out. However, there are two problems with this statement.

Though diamond jewelry is made of diamonds, which is one of strongest materials on earth, a hard blow can cause the diamond to chip. If proper care is taken then the diamond jewelry can last a lifetime. To clean diamond jewelry, use water and a little bit of ammonia with a gentle brush while being careful of the metal. Also keep it away from lotion, perspiration and other household cleaners. These items can dull the surface of the stones. Store your diamond jewelry separated with paper or bags, so they do not scratch or dull each other. It's also wise to keep the diamond jewelry in its original velvet box.
