Care To Be Taken While Storing Pearl Diamond Earrings
Pearl diamond jewellery can set you back a few hundred dollars and therefore care has to be taken in ensuring that your investment is not damaged. The unique combination of pearls and diamonds is what makes maintaining the pearl diamond earrings a challenge. Diamonds are the hardest naturally occurring stones in the world as are so strong that they can be used to cut any hard material. The pearl on the other side is a soft material and can easily be scratched. So a lot of care is required while storing these earrings. It is always better to wrap the earrings in a soft cloth or use a jewel box that has a separate place for placing earrings. While placing them in the jewel box ensure that the diamonds and the pearls don’t touch each other. It only takes a touch for the diamond to scratch the pearl and therefore always be careful.
