Is it possible that salt water can damage a diamond to some extent? I found somewhere on the internet an information that a diamond can lose its shine through salt water and I would like to find out what the truth is. I always thought that the covalent bonds in diamond are so strong that basically, at room temperature, no solution can affect its structure. Thank you in advance for your reply.

No, salt water is not likely to alter the structure of diamond. But salt residue on the diamond surface could certainly affect its luster.
