Did you know that diamonds are the hardest material in the world? And lab-grown diamonds are no different. Being the hardest material they can actually scratch metals and other diamonds! To keep this from occurring, store pairs of earrings slightly apart from each other and try to give each piece of jewelry its own dedicated spot in your jewelry box - or return the jewelry to a soft travel pouch or the original Prestar NYC box it came in. Proper care and storage will also help prevent tangling, so be mindful to fasten clasps on necklaces and bracelets once you take them off.
We advise it's best not to wear jewelry while exercising, swimming, playing sports, or doing household chores - as this can lead to tarnishing and even damaging your jewelry. Our top tip to keep your lab-grown diamond jewelry sparkling is to make sure you’re regularly cleaning after wearing to maintain its shine.
Jewelry lovers, whether you have curated multiple ear piercings or keep it minimal, benefit from keeping jewelry and piercing sites clean. So think of these tips for how to care for diamond earrings as a double win: not only will your Prestar NYC lab-grown diamond earrings stay bright and sparkling, but your piercings will also stay in good health.
Any prong-set jewelry that is regularly worn should get a “prong check” from a professional jewelry shop about once a year. Here at Lightbox, our team hand-sets each prong to ensure our prong mountings are secure. The everyday bumps and friction can occasionally knock a prong loose, and the pros can quickly check to ensure that everything is snug. If you want peace of mind at home, look and listen to your jewelry. To do this, hold the prong-set jewelry between two fingers and hold it close to your ear. When you shake it, do you hear anything? Perhaps a rattling noise or a faint click? These sounds are signs you need to have the prongs tightened by a pro.
