 How to Make Your Diamond Ring Last

 A 14 karat setting is a good option if you're worried about the durability of a yellow-gold engagement ring. The 14 karat version of gold is stronger than 18 karat because it contains less gold alloys. Gold is a soft metal and the less gold alloys there are, the stronger the metal. Diamond Nexus' yellow gold engagement rings are all made of 14K gold for a durable and beautiful finish.

 It's important to clean your ring at least once or twice a year to ensure that your diamond jewelry lasts as long as possible. If you take your ring to a jeweler for cleaning, ask them to check the setting as well and make sure all the stones are securely attached. You'll keep your ring looking new and avoid costly losses.

 It is always wise to insure your engagement ring and large purchases of fine jewelry, just in case they get lost or stolen.
