How Diamonds Are Made
Diamonds are rare because of the way they are formed: diamonds come from deep within the Earth's crust. A diamond is formed under intense heat and pressure from soft, black, worthless carbon. This carbon becomes the hardest of all known substances: the diamond. Created more than 3 billion years ago and thrown to the Earth's surface through volcanic eruptions or mining, diamonds are truly a wonder of nature. Diamond is the birthstone for April.

Diamond Care and Earring SizingDiamond Care:
Natural diamonds are a very rare, durable gemstone. They are the hardest known substance to man, but durability has its limits. Many substances coming in contact with a diamond may diminish its beauty and brilliance. Since many diamonds (such as engagement or wedding rings) are often worn 24 hours a day, special thought should be given to their care.
To help you with proper care, we have provided a list of suggestions that will prolong the years of enjoyment from your diamond jewelry.
Lotions, powders, soaps, and even natural skin oils will create a film on the surface of a diamond and reduce its fiery glow; therefore, rings should be removed when washing your hands, bathing, applying cosmetics, washing dishes, or digging in the garden.
Be careful not to knock your diamond against hard surfaces. There is a chance that an already present cleavage or fracture in the diamond crystal could be further widened. Though diamonds are very hard, they can be broken.
When storing diamond jewelry, take care not to allow diamonds to touch metals or other gemstones. Diamonds can be scratched from such contact.
To clean your diamond jewelry, they should be allowed to soak for 15 minutes in either Day's Jewelry Cleaner or your homemade cleaner and brushed with a soft brush. It should then be rinsed in water and dried with a lint-free cloth.
To create your own cleaning solution, mix 2 cups of warm water, one tablespoon of ammonia, and a bit of dish soap. It is also safe to place your Diamond in an ultrasonic cleaner or vibratory cleaning machine which can be purchased from Day's.
Day's recommends that you have your diamond jewelry professionally inspected and cleaned at least once every 6 months. The Day's staff will make sure your diamond is secure in its mounting. We will then buff and ultrasonically clean your diamond jewelry which will remove dirt caught beneath the stone and give your diamond the brilliance it had when you first bought it. Day's offers this service free of charge.
