A diamond is the hardest form of carbon with incredible durability. However, a strong blow to an edge can still chip it. Hence it is advised not to wear diamond while doing hard work.
Diamond is susceptible to Chlorine. Hence diamond should be kept away from bleach or other household chemicals to avoid discolouration and damage. Also it is advised not to wear diamond jewellery while entering into pool or hot bath tub.
Diamonds should be regularly cleaned using commercial jewellery cleaner, a mix of ammonia and water, or a mild detergent. Use a soft brush to wipe dust or dirt from under the setting.
Diamonds should be handled by its edges. Also it is better to avoid touching clean diamonds with fingers.
Few watches are waterproof, though many are water resistant. If moisture or dust has penetrated the case of your watch, have it checked only by an authorized technician. Attempts by an untrained repair person may seriously damage the watch and invalidate factory warranties.
