How to care for diamond jewelry
So, you are the happy owner of diamond jewelry. What needs to be done so that your jewelry always sparkles and does not lose its appearance.
Many people think that since a diamond has a very high hardness, nothing can happen to it during socks. But this is not so. During the operation of products with diamonds, especially rings, impacts should be avoided, since diamond is prone to chipping along cleavage directions. In addition to this, diamond products must be stored separately from each other because of the possibility of causing surface damage when the diamond touches diamond.
The features of caring for jewelry with diamonds are affected by the presence of one or another refinement to which the diamond could be subjected.
In the event that the diamond fixed in the product is refined by filling cracks, then care should be taken to exclude factors such as vibration, aggressive cleaning agents, temperature extremes and high temperature effects to eliminate the possibility of removal and crystallization of the material filling the cracks .
If a diamond has a surface coating, then for proper care you need to know its nature. Colored diamond coating is resistant to all types of external influences; mineral coatings are usually resistant to non-intense mechanical stress; dyes and coatings are afraid of even simple cleaning with water, which can lead to a change in the color of the stone.
We do not recommend looking after diamonds at home. We advise you to contact a specialist in this field.
В геммологической практике бывают весьма увлекательные случаи с диагностикой ювелирных вставок
Но помимо редкости цвета и высокой стоимости таких камней, многие розовые камни выделяются одной замечательной особенностью – они проявляют плеохроизм, то есть в зависимости от положения осмотра камня он может иметь дополнительные оттенки – оранжевый или пурпурный.
Currently, gemstones are produced by two fundamentally different technological methods - the High Pressure - High Temperature method (“HPHT”, High-pressure & High-temperature) and the Chemical Vapor Deposition (“CVD”, Chemical vapor deposition) method. The "HPHT" method is the most tested classical synthesis method, which can be used both carbon deposition on diamond from flux melts and catalytic reactions. In "CVD" synthesis, diamond growth occurs on a seed during carbon deposition mainly from a gaseous medium at relatively low temperatures and pressures.
Jewelry and precious stones are just such a category of goods, when buying which you need to pay attention to many criteria.
Sogdianite is a rather rare mineral and more often it can be found as a collection material (moreover, in systematic collections), and it is extremely rare in jewelry.
