Diamond lock pendants make use of a precious such as gold or silver to support the pendant, and it should be noted that pure gold (the highest quality of gold is 24 carat) is never used because it is simply too weak and brittle. Gold of a lower carat is used because the gold contains additional metals which are stronger than the gold, thereby ensuring the maximum strength. If you are concerned that such “inferior” quality metal will spoil the overall finish of your pendant, then there is no need to be worried. The diamond stones inset the metal will obscure the metal from view, and it is the diamond stones themselves that will be the focal point of attention for the eye!
An alternative metal is platinum, platinum is a remarkable metal because it is nearly impossible to damage, dent or scratch. Its high resilience would give even Wolverine (of the X-men) a run for his money!
One of the best ways to clean in between the various stones of your diamond lock pendants is by using a toothbrush because the bristles of the brush will be able to penetrate and reach in between the stones so as to remove the dirt and grime easily, and effectively.
