Diamond Watches: How to Keep Your Bling Blinging
Monday, March 1st, 2010Bling is the new catch phrase. Or as my daughters would put it, "it's not the new phrase, but newer...maybe." Diamond watches are definitely luxury items that can be worn out and about and definitely command attention. A functional diamond watch is even better and that's what we are shooting for.
Watch upkeep and maintenance is important when you look at how many people simply do not keep up with the mechanics behind their watch faces. There are some unique issues with diamond watches that should be addressed as well. A few simple steps to keep you on time and avoid being late to your appointments are recommended.
Cleaning of the diamonds should be done by qualified watch makers. I know you'd think it should be done by a jeweler and if you have a family jeweler you really love, go for it. Taking your diamond watch to a franchise jeweler is not always a good idea. They do not always understand how delicate your time piece is and quite honestly could damage it.
Count your diamonds before you go out. Better than that make sure your diamonds are all secure. Facets can loosen over time and with wear. Lost diamonds from diamond watches are a sad thing. No one wants to see a diamond get orphaned. Use a magnifying glass to take a look and poke around some to check that the diamonds are all secure before you go out.
Winding your diamond watches is not something people think about. It is important to do so as part of your daily ritual. Mechanical watches run on tension and oiled gears keep them moving right along. Storing your watch is not the same as storing other jewelry. The gears can become stuck over time and you're right back to having a thick bracelet if you fail to wind your watch to coat the gears.
Some diamond watches are not all diamond either. If you happen to have one of these (god help your husband if he told you differently) make sure to replace any cracked crystals that might develop in the course of your wearing them. A cracked crystal can let in moisture and moisture is bad. Really, it's as simple as that.
Make sure that you schedule time in annually with a watch smith. This id for maintenance and repair as well as a deep down cleaning. They will be able to replace gears and clean the mechanisms inside of your watch as well as look over the outside to reaffirm that everything is properly secure. Really, it's just part of owning one of these treasures.
Diamond watches are beautiful and everyone loves to look at them. Taking care of your diamond watch will ensure that everyone will keep on looking and that when YOU look, you will have the right time. Have a good time and warm wishes to you and yours.
