Lil Wayne x Colgate Toothpaste. Lil Wayne has over $150,000 worth of diamonds in his grill. So what does he use to protect his investment? Colgate Toothpaste. Wayne recently stated that he brushes his teeth ‚Äúafter dinner and after lunch – with Colgate‚Äù. Unlike the cheap fronts you can buy for $20 over on Crenshaw Blvd., Wayne’s diamond teeth are permanent. That’s why he brushes his teeth as much as he’s sipping on the syrup.
Yeti says: Quick Colgate! This is your time to capitalize on the fact Lil Wayne admits to the public using your product! Sign him to an endorsement deal to capture that “urban” demo! Send him a year’s supply of Colgate to make a big PR buzz around it. Yes – I’m being sarcastic. But I wouldn’t be surprised if it happened either.
DIAMOND CARE
Diamonds may be the hardest substance on earth, but they are not indestructible. While they can be cut or polished only by another diamond, a hard blow can cause them to chip. Never wear your diamond jewelry when doing rough work.

Putting Diamonds Away
Don't store your diamond jewelry next to other jewelry pieces as this can cause scratches. A fabric-lined jewelry case with separate compartments is Ideal. You can also individually wrap jewelry in soft tissue paper or use jewelry pouches for each piece.
Regularly inspect your diamond jewelry to make sure the setting is secure. Promptly bring it to a professional jeweler if you notice any signs of damage or loosening of the prongs. It's a good idea to have your diamond jewelry examined at least once a year by a professional jeweler. In addition to performing any necessary repair work, your jeweler can expertly clean your jewelry.
Everyday exposure to creams, skin oils, hairspray, household chemicals and other substances can cause buildup that will dull your diamond's brilliance and sparkle. Use a solution of warm water mixed with a few drop of ammonia in which to soak your diamond jewelry. Gentle scrubbing with an old, soft-bristled toothbrush is useful for more extensive cleaning. Rinse and dry with a clean soft cloth.
The Basics of Keeping Your Diamond Clean
So how can you keep your diamond looking its very best? Here are some tips on diamond care:
* Handle your diamond sparingly, as your fingers provide enough oil from your skin to alter the way your diamond looks.
* Clean your diamond regularly. A simple plan to keep your diamond jewelry always looking beautiful is to soak the diamond in an ammonia-based household cleaner (such as window cleaner) overnight, once or twice weekly. In the morning, remove the diamond from the cleaner and brush it with a soft, clean toothbrush to remove any leftover dirt. Take extra care to brush the back of the diamond as this will be the area that has collected the most oil and dirt.
* Be aware that fragile settings and estate jewelry won't take kindly to being scrubbed with a toothbrush, so use a soft touch. Then, just rinse the diamond with water and wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth.
* Don't use harmful solutions. Chlorine or abrasives should never be used when cleaning diamonds, especially those set in jewelry. These erode some of the metals often used in diamond settings, and may loosen prongs, or even dissolve the metal completely.
Sometimes an ultrasonic cleaner is necessary to remove encrusted dirt on diamonds. By sending high frequency sound waves through a detergent solution, ultrasonic cleaners cause vibrating fluid to remove accumulated dirt and grime. However, they can also shake loose stones from their mounting, so this method shouldn't be used on fragile settings, and is best undertaken by a professional jeweler.
Regular cleaning will keep your diamond jewelry in gleaming condition and ready to sparkle on that special occasion.

Tips for General Care
Even though you may wear your diamond engagement ring 24 hours a day, you should still give thought to its care.
* Don't wear it when you're doing rough work. Even though a diamond is durable, it can be chipped by a hard blow.
* Don't let your diamond come in contact with a chlorine bleach when you're doing household chores. It can damage and discolor the mounting.
* Do see your jeweler at least once a year and have him check your ring and other precious pieces for loose prongs and wear of mountings. He'll usually give them a professional “shine-up” too.
