Diamond Heads are a piece of jewelry and application should not be rushed. To obtain the best results, please follow these simple instructions

  • Diamond Heads are made to go into wood. They are not a button and should be used where you would normally use brass upholstery nails
  • Use template tool provided for appropriate spacing of nails, we have found it easier to use a nail and puncture the fabric to create a guideline. Do NOT hammer nail all the way into the wood, leave template in place until row is applied, remove template, then proceed to hammer nail in deeper.
  • Always use the hammer tool when hammering in the nails to provide protection for the threads on the screw
  • Do not hammer the nail into the furniture too far; it makes it more difficult to screw on decorative setting
  • Keep hammer tool consistently straight up and down while hammering in the nail
  • If your wood is very hard, hammer the nail in slowly to prevent bending and shifting. Extra nails are provided in the event this should occur
  • If removal of nail is necessary, simply pull straight up with pliers
  • Once placed, a rubber mallet may be used to tap the sides of the stone setting; this should not hurt the stone.
  • Use a damp cloth to polish and remove finger prints
