How to Protect Your Diamond Jewelry in the Summer

Protection for some of the most beautiful pieces that you own is essential. You need to ensure that you have the proper coverage when it is needed the most. If you find yourself having a hard time covering up your jewelry or keeping it in the best possible condition then these tips for diamond jewelry and summer time can come in handy. 

Protect Your Diamond Jewelry Using These Tips:

• Keep your diamonds and other jewelry out of the direct sunlight and heat. Heat can cause damage to the metals and the diamond if it is left for long periods of time.
• Regularly clean the jewelry, since small particles and debris can cause the diamond and metals to wear down with time. This causes damage to the jewelry and can cause it to lose it’s luster and shine.
• Never get lotions, oils or sunscreen or other oily substances on the rings. This can cause the ring to break down over time if it is not completely washed off and removed from the outside of the ring. It is best to keep the rings away from these lotions and oils, since some have harsh chemicals in them not suited for jewelry.
• Never swim with your jewelry on, since the chlorine and other chemicals found inside pools can break down the metals and diamonds of the jewelry causing further issues. The same could go for lakes and other natural bodies of water that might have particles in them that can be harmful to precious metals or stones.
• Whenever possible, take your jewelry off before heading out for a fun day in the sun. Whether you’re going to be swimming or not, or if you’re going to be sitting in the sun. You want to protect your beautiful investment and keeping it at home in a temperature controlled space is the most ideal way to go about doing so.

Dressed Up and Dressed Down: Your Guide to Dressing with Diamonds

When it comes to dressing up or down, and being able to use diamonds within the mix; you need to know how to do this and how it can be done correctly. This is not something that you want to just throw together and call it a day. You want to look your best, dress to impress and feel confident all the same. Draper’s Jewelry has some awesome ideas to get you started. 

Dressing Up with Diamonds

There is no right or wrong way to dress up with diamonds. However, it is recommended that you choose to go with diamonds that are not too big, fit your structure well and that you do not overdo it. Pairing earrings, rings and necklaces together that have the same sort of flow is recommended. Always check into the types of diamonds that are made for dressing up before heading out. That evening gown can look its best with the right diamonds for the occasion. 

Colored diamonds can also be ideal if they go well with the evening gown that you’re wearing. 

Dress Down with Diamonds 

You’re able to wear diamonds on an everyday basis, as well as dressing up with them. The general rule of thumb with simple diamonds when dressing down with them is to go simple. You want to choose a simple diamond on a necklace, as well as a simple diamond ring or diamond studs to put in your ears. Going overboard with the amount of diamonds that you wear out and about for no special occasion can become too much if you choose to overdo the amount of diamonds that you’re wearing at one time.

Designing Your Own Diamond Setting for a Special Occasion

Through the use of Draper’s Jewelry ‘design your own setting’ option, you can create a completely customized ring setting for diamonds of your choice. This allows you to get many benefits, but also feel more confident about providing someone you love with the ring. This is due to the fact that you put a lot of thought and consideration into what you wanted to make for them, not just something you chose really quick off of the shelves. 

Diamond Setting Options 

There are many options you can go with depending on what you might think that she’d like in a ring. Choosing something that fits her is essential, but being able to put the diamonds together so they look their best is also something that should be considered. 

Smaller diamonds that surround a larger one tend to be the most popular choice. Whether you go with just two or four smaller diamonds around the band, with the larger one in the middle or going with a mostly full band of smaller diamonds with a larger middle setting; she is sure to love this classic design. 

Of course, even with this design, you have to choose the quality of the diamonds, as well as the size of the diamonds. You can use the online simulator to provide yourself with an idea of how each one might look and customize it to a way that really shines bright. 

Single diamond settings are also another classic option that many people choose to go with. This allows the person to use a larger middle diamond, since they’re not adding the smaller ones around it. It also provides you with a way to make a larger diamond in a different shape appear more beautiful and stand out much more than it normally would with the additional diamonds around it.
