When it comes to falling of diamond, some people are not aware of the incident until they know it after long period of time, with no idea about where it is lost! Then, can this be avoided? The answer is YES, and such incident can be reduced by taking the following steps:
- Selection of style. In selecting the style of diamond, traditional style is advisable, for such style is popular for long time, best in setting technique, and will never be out of season, except in a poor taste. However, it’s very firm in structural design with rare case of falling diamond.
- If you clean your jewelry set with diamond personally, never do it in water tank but in a vessel, so that it’s easy to find the diamond once it falls off.
- During wearing, often check whether the diamond is loosened, if YES, fix it immediately, and do not wear the jewelry before fixing.
- Take off the jewelry before showering, when diamond ring is apt to slip away.
- The most typical style of diamond ring is Tiffany setting crown, which is popular from the 17th century B.C. to date, although the style is common, it’s firm and robust, never out of date, and rare case of falling diamond!
- Bezel setting is firm and makes diamond look big, generally 20-30% bigger than actual size, but the shortcoming is feeling of heaviness and thickness. New style of tension setting is imperfect in terms of frequent fall-off of diamond, and distortion of finger ring will cause fall-off of diamond!
To make sure your diamonds are safe, have your ring fixed immediately if you find out that your stones are loose. The jeweler will tighten your setting and repair any damage that may cause trouble when you wear your ring.
If you have a prong setting, be on the lookout for worn prongs. You should check regularly to see if any of the prongs are bent or broken – especially after you’ve hit your ring – and have them fixed if you spot any damage.
If you have a ring with invisible-set diamonds, do not wear it when doing any vigorous activity as shaking the ring hard may cause some of the stones to pop out of the mounting.
The same goes for rings with inlaid gemstones, which can easily fall off, especially if the glue holding them has gotten old and weak.
Be sure to clean your ring often as dirt can not only prevent you from spotting any damage to the setting but also make your ring’s parts wear down faster
