To clean, gently scrub with a soft toothbrush and a solution of mild dish soap and warm water, or clean in an ultrasonic cleaner.
Generally, diamonds are quite durable. However, diamonds are subject to chipping and fracture when handled roughly. Diamonds should be stored separately. Diamonds can scratch other jewelry as well as each other.
