Why Gemstone Care Matters

A fine gemstone can last for centuries—but only if it’s cared for properly. Dust, scratches, chemicals, and even sunlight can affect your stone’s brilliance over time. Whether it’s a treasured Ceylon sapphire, fiery ruby, or delicate morganite, proper care keeps your gem looking as beautiful as the day you bought it.

 

Tip 1: Clean Gently

For most gemstones, a soft brush, mild soap, and warm water are enough. Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners for softer stones like opal or pearl, as they can cause damage.

 

Tip 2: Store Separately

Gems can scratch each other, especially harder stones like sapphires and diamonds. Store them in soft pouches or separate compartments in a jewelry box.

 

Tip 3: Avoid Heat and Sunlight

Extended exposure to heat or direct sunlight can fade certain gems like amethyst or kunzite. Keep your jewelry in a cool, shaded place when not in use.

 

Tip 4: Remove During Activities

Take off your gemstone jewelry when cooking, cleaning, swimming, or working out. Chemicals and rough contact can dull or damage the stone’s surface.

 

Professional Maintenance

Once a year, have your gemstones checked and professionally cleaned by a jeweler. This helps detect any loose settings and ensures your gems remain secure.
