When home, combine one part dish detergent and six parts water to clean diamond jewelry. You should gently scrub with a soft brush to loosen most dirt and greatly increase the brilliance of the diamond, but be careful not to scratch the metal of your setting. Once a year, it is a good idea to have your diamond cleaned and have the security of the setting checked.

Storage of your diamond jewelry

Remember that diamonds can scratch diamonds, so our jewelers recommend that all diamond jewelry is stored individually in soft cloth pouches when not being worn to prevent scratching or dulling other jewelry.

Storage and Cleaning?

Our local jewelers know that most diamonds are a symbol of everlasting love; that is why we give wedding, engagement and anniversary rings. With the proper care, your ring will remain as resolute as your love. Did you know that your engagement ring, particularly its diamond, collects film from cosmetics, lotion, soap and even skin oil? These harmful emissions will reduce the fire of your diamond. Have you ever wondered why that ring you wore only once has a scratch? Perhaps it was due to improper storage. Caring for your ring is not a difficult task. To sustain your ring’s luster and brilliance, follow these simple tips for wear and cleaning.

Our professional jewelers have put these simple and easy steps to keep your diamond rings as beautiful now as when you first received it.

All jewelers will tell you that a diamond is the hardest substance on earth. They are uniquely resistant to damage by heat or scratching, and can be cut or polished only by another diamond, but an extremely hard blow to the girdle can cause a diamond to chip.

By having your diamond set in a relatively protective setting, and remaining conscious of it on your finger, you can keep your diamond intact for a lifetime. Exposure during ordinary wear to perspiration and household chemicals, like chlorine and hairspray, can cause buildup that dulls the surface of a diamond. Therefore, as most fine jewelers know, you should routinely have your diamond jewelry cleaned to keep your diamonds sparkling.

Diamond stores have an uncanny ability to assemble a stunning collection of jewelry. Vintage Jewelry denotes the era encompassing the 1930′s and the 1940′s, a period in which the outbreak of war slowed down jewelry production. The big difference between these decades was the opulence of large gemstones and the richness of surfaces entirely pave or invisibly-set with diamonds, rubies or sapphires substituted by limited sized semi-precious stones and large metallic surfaces.

Our own retail store has a great collection of Vintage Diamond Engagement Rings. European-cut Diamonds popularize this era of Retro Ruby Jewelry. Platinum stars in Vintage Sapphire Necklace and Earring Sets. That can be smothered in Diamonds and accompanied with a bold Vintage Rose Gold Retro Brooch. You can even match the broach with Vintage Asscher-cut Diamond Ring accentuated by a Stylish Retro Emerald Bracelet.

Our staff here at our retail jewelry store knows that citrine, aquamarine, amethyst, topaz and quartz were set into similar sized items of Vintage Retro Jewelry; however, hollow constructions were used to conserve metal. Precious metals were rare, gold was scarce and platinum was almost unobtainable. Copper took the place of nickel, which was then used in armament manufacture, in gold manufacture. It was the birthing of Rose Gold, and Palladium was introduced to jewelry for the first time.

Gold like most things comes in various colors and purities. There are many different types of gold jewelry available on the market today. Gold ore is mined from many different locations around the world, but the standards for gold jewelry remain the same.

In gold jewelry, the gold’s purity is determined by its karat weight. The term karat refers to a method of measuring, on a scale of 1 to 24, of how much pure gold and how much alloy is in each piece of gold jewelry. The lower the karat, the less pure gold is used and the higher the karat, the higher amount of pure gold was used in creating the piece.

You can see our outstanding selection of designer jewelry, coming in different gold karats. The different karats that are most commonly seen used for gold jewelry in the United States are 10karat, 14karat, and 18karat gold. Karat is typically shortened and will appear as 10K, 14K and 18K on your jewelry. These different levels are indicative of the content of pure gold that is contained in the jewelry.

The various colors of gold rings stem from mixing it with silver and copper to achieve different colors of gold such as a yellow, red, and even green! In yellow gold the copper and silver is mixed in equal parts.  When the copper is increased and the silver is decreased you have red gold, sometimes called rose gold.  For green gold the silver is increased and the copper is decreased.

Just a few helpful hints to help you buy stunning designer jewelry here at the Gem Collection.

Gold rings have standards in place coming from the FTC (Federal Trade Commission). These standards are in place on genuine gold content jewelry to label its worth. The content, or karat weight, must be noticeably stamped on some portion of the gold jewelry. On rings, you’ll typically find this mark inside of the band.

Gold jewelry will work for anyone, bringing a beautiful addition to any wardrobe for men and women, adults and children alike. Gold jewelry can bring out glowing skin tones and accentuate your clothing choices.

When buying designer jewelry, think about how you’ll wear the piece.

Stunning engagement rings can be made in different ways. Couples can easily create the perfect ring to match their personalities and the relationship they share through simple substitutions or full scale independent ring designs. A common way of creating a custom ring is choosing an alternative gemstone either as the center stone or accent. Due to the sentimental connection to the couple, the birthstone has become popular choices. They birthstones even represent the special days in the couple’s life including the upcoming wedding. If couples wish to try for more unique gems, they can consider turquoise, mystic topaz or tanzanite. If they wish to preserve the traditional sentiments of diamonds, couples can use fancy colored diamonds which would offer uniqueness too. Popular hues come in black, blue, pink and yellow, which will give you unique anniversary rings.

While considering the metal, yellow gold is the most popular wedding rings metal choice for most of couples. However people also go for platinum or white gold. Consider using less common metals like silver or titanium or even specialized gold hues like rose for a custom ring. Another metal option is multi tone rings that combine different metals into one cohesive design. For getting a more unique look, go for fused mokume gane designs.

However the most common and least expensive method of customization in engagement rings would be engraving. People engrave their initials, significant date like wedding date or any special date can add a touch of personal feeling to the ring. Usually the engravings are done inside the band in either a block or script font. For a semi private configuration, couples can go for metal filigree and engraving the exterior of the ring which would be often under the setting and visible from the side. This will give you the perfect wedding rings.

Lapidaries were producing a wide assortment of geometric gem cuts including baguettes, emerald-cuts, triangles and shields. Gems were usually channel-set or bead-set in Art Deco jewelry. Nothing takes the center stage like vintage diamonds in any piece of jewelry.
