Below are five tips to caring for both precious and semi-precious gemstone jewelry:
1) Amethyst jewelry should be stored out of direct sunlight. Believe it or not, this beautiful gemstone can actually fade if exposed to the sun for long periods of time.
2) Consider a homemade remedy when cleaning gemstone jewelry. This will help you keep your accessories shining. A combination of soap and water can clean most gemstones safely, and may be less harsh than other jewelry cleaners.
3) As you clean your gemstone jewelry, pay close attention to the utensil that you choose. Avoid any brush or other product featuring bristles, this may scratch the surface of your gemstone. Instead, use a soft cloth that has no rough areas.
4) Before using any type of jewelry cleaning product, always pay close attention to the directions written on it, because not all cleaners are safe for all gemstones and, in order to maintain the beauty of your jewelry, it's important to carefully read the instructions.
5) When storing gemstone jewelry, make sure to place it in such a way that it will not easily come into contact with other pieces from your collection. If your jewelry were to get tumbled around, the gemstones could be scratched or even broken. Many natural gemstones are durable, but they can still be scratched and even damaged if not properly cared for.
