Scrap diamonds, scrap pearls: most of them are, anyway!
An astonishing number of presently available diamonds and pearls are "used", or "second hand". This is especially the case with diamonds, that are just about indestructable. Pearls, of course, are more prone to damage, but basically: when you see scrap diamonds or scrap pearls show up for sale, you encounter the normal situation!

Taking care of your diamond
Caring for a diamond takes more than occasional cleanings. First, you should take your diamond jewelry to a jeweler once a year. Have him check the mountings and prongs that hold your diamond in place. Have him make any needed repairs. This will prevent your diamond from falling out of its setting and becoming lost.
Diamond jewelry that is not being worn, or diamonds that are loose should be stored in a fabric lined jewel case, or in a jewelry box where it can be kept separate from other jewelry. Each piece should have its own compartment. This will keep diamonds from becoming scratched, and it will also keep your diamond from scratching other jewelry as well.
Remove your diamond jewelry when doing physical work. Diamonds can be chipped and scratched easily. Also avoid allowing your diamond to come into contact with bleach or other household cleansers – this can damage or change the color of the settings and mountings, and it may even irreversibly change the color of the diamond!
