Taking care of your precious and semi-precious gemstones and jewellery is important to keep them looking beautiful and lasting longer. Follow these simple tips to protect your stones and jewellery:
1. Cleaning Your Gemstones and Jewellery
- Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe your jewellery after wearing.
- Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the stones and metal.
- For deeper cleaning, use mild soap with lukewarm water and a soft brush, then rinse well and dry with a soft cloth.
- Never use ultrasonic cleaners or steam cleaners on delicate or porous stones like turquoise, opal, or pearls.
2. Storing Your Gemstones and Jewellery
- Store each piece separately in a soft pouch or jewellery box to avoid scratches.
- Keep your stones and jewellery away from direct sunlight and extreme heat to prevent fading or damage.
- Avoid storing jewellery in damp or humid places to prevent tarnishing and deterioration.
3. Handling Your Gemstones
- Always handle your gemstones with clean hands to avoid oils or dirt buildup.
- Avoid wearing gemstone jewellery when doing heavy work, gardening, or using chemicals.
- Remove jewellery before swimming or showering, as chlorine and soaps can damage the stones and metal.
4. Protecting Your Jewellery
- Avoid dropping or banging your jewellery, as some stones can chip or crack.
- Regularly check settings and clasps to ensure stones are secure.
- For personalised or custom jewellery, follow any specific care instructions provided.
5. Special Care for Different Stones
- Precious Stones (diamond, sapphire, ruby, emerald): Generally durable but still require gentle cleaning and careful handling.
- Semi-Precious Stones (amethyst, garnet, citrine, topaz): Usually softer, so avoid harsh cleaners and sudden temperature changes.
- Rough or Raw Stones: More delicate surfaces; clean carefully with gentle methods only.
