Gemstones are as unique as they are beautiful, and each one requires slightly different care. Here’s how to keep your gemstone jewellery looking stunning:
Avoid Direct Sunlight
Many gemstones, like citrine and topaz, can fade with prolonged exposure to sunlight. To protect your gemstone rings, necklaces, and other pieces, store them in a shaded area when not in use.
Clean Gently with Mild Soap and Water
To clean most gemstone jewellery, use a soft cloth or brush with mild soap and lukewarm water. Avoid soaking the jewellery, as some stones are more delicate and may be damaged by excessive moisture.
Skip the Harsh Chemicals
Household cleaners, bleach, and even perfumes can harm delicate gemstones. Always remove your gemstone earrings, bracelets, and other jewellery before applying lotions, sprays, or handling cleaning agents.
Polish with a Soft Cloth
For regular maintenance, gently polish your gemstones with a soft, lint-free cloth. This keeps the surface free of dust and brings out the stone’s natural shine.
Store Separately to Avoid Scratches
Some gemstones are softer than others and can be scratched if stored together. Keep your gemstone jewellery in separate pouches or a lined jewellery box to prevent damage.
Caring for Specific Gemstones
Here’s a quick guide for caring for some of our most popular gemstones:
Citrine: This bright stone can fade under prolonged exposure to sunlight. Clean gently with mild soap and water, and avoid storing in direct light.
Pyrope (Garnet): Known for its deep red hue, pyrope garnet is durable but should be cleaned carefully with a soft brush and mild soapy water.
Topaz: Topaz is relatively hard but can still be chipped or scratched. Keep it away from hard surfaces, and clean with warm, soapy water.
Sapphire: One of the hardest gemstones, sapphire resists scratching but can still benefit from gentle cleaning. Use warm soapy water and a soft brush.
Corundum (Ruby & Sapphire family): Like sapphire, corundum is highly durable. It can be cleaned easily with a mild soap solution and soft brush.
