Store separately to avoid scratches 分開存放防刮花

There is a beautiful misconception about diamond maintenance - diamond is indestructible. It is true that diamond is the hardest among all gemstones. However, it is still prone to damage and cracks if it is poorly maintained.

Therefore, one should pay special attention when storing a pair of earrings. When two hard diamonds rub against each other, it is very possible that they will scratch each other. Therefore, the pair of diamond earrings should be placed separately in a felt-lined jewellery box. Diamond rings, necklaces and bracelets should also be wrapped in soft cloth pouches and stored separately. The hardness of other gemstones or pearls is lower than diamonds and should be stored the same way to avoid scratches.

不少人對鑽石，都有一個美麗的誤會，以為它是無可破損的。在所有寶石中，鑽石確是最堅硬的，但若疏於保養，它亦有機會受損裂開。

所以，存放鑽石耳環時，最須要留神。因為兩顆堅硬的鑽石，若互相碰撞，絕對有可能刮花彼此。所以，大家應把鑽石耳環置於有絨毛內藏間隔板的首飾盒中，並分開存放。而鑽石戒指、項鍊、手鍊等，也應以軟布包裹，分開放置。其他寶石和珍珠的硬度比鑽石低，亦應用上述方法小心存放，以防造成刮花。
