Gem care

Caring for precious stones

All jewelry needs care. Taking a few extra minutes to clean your jewelry will prolong its life and improve its appearance.

Essential tips for caring for gemstone jewelry.

Be careful.

The most important care advice is careful and careful handling. Your jewelry should be the last thing you put on, especially after applying hairspray, perfume, and cosmetics. Remove jewelry on the contrary, should be the first. Check all clasps before putting your jewelry away. It is also strongly discouraged to wear jewelry in situations where it may be exposed to high / low temperatures, harsh chemicals, or may interact with rough surfaces.

Handle with care.

After removing your jewelry, it is recommended to wipe each piece with a clean, soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dirt, dust and oil. To prevent scratches on the gemstone when interacting with other jewelry, each piece of jewelry should be stored separately, or each piece should be wrapped in a soft cloth. Never store diamond jewelry with other jewelry, as diamonds can easily scratch other stones and surfaces.

Clean regularly.

Regular cleaning of your gemstones is the most effective way to keep your gems looking their best. However, not all gemstones should be cleaned in the same way. Even plain soapy water can be harmful to some gemstones. Some stones are very sensitive to certain chemicals, others are very vulnerable to heat or cold.

Below is a table for choosing the right care for each particular gemstone.

Care of natural stones | Masters Fair Magazine

Today I want to talk about the proper care of natural stones! In my work, I use a lot of natural stones, and I am well aware of the proper care for them. In my practice, there were such cases when buyers complained over time that jewelry lost its original appearance. We managed to restore them, but there were cases when we had to use the miracles of our technology and restore them.

To prevent this from happening, you need to treat your jewelry with tenderness. There are also professional secrets, which I will now tell you about!

Precious and semi-precious stones need care. Moreover, each gem has its own characteristics of storage and cleaning. For the right choice of care methods, first of all, you need to know the chemical properties of your gem. And if you treat it with attention, it will delight you with its beauty and useful properties for a long time. Compliance with the rules of wearing and storing jewelry is no less important than the right care. Depending on the properties of the material from which the jewelry is made, the care for them varies.

Attention: Stones such as turquoise, opals, and other stones of organic origin: pearls, amber, mother-of-pearl, corals, ammonites, petrified wood require the greatest care in cleaning. They cannot be cleaned with washing powders, they cannot be exposed to bleaches, soda, ether, sulfates cannot be used for cleaning.

Amber is one of the most delicate and soft stones used in jewelry. It is fragile and requires careful handling and care.
It is desirable to store amber in a separate jewelry box, in order to protect it from contact with metals and other materials, it is better to store each amber product in a separate bag or wrapped in a soft cloth. Protect amber jewelry from exposure to not only too high, but also too low temperatures. Temperature fluctuations are especially harmful for amber. You can not keep amber near heating devices and direct sunlight.

Amber is very sensitive to chemicals, so apply hairspray and perfume about 10 minutes before putting on amber jewelry, remove amber jewelry before washing dishes and laundry, store amber away from substances such as lard and butter, and an ultrasonic cleaner and a steam generator are not suitable for cleaning amber, they will simply destroy it. Also, do not allow amber to come into contact with other jewelry cleaners and alcohol. Failure to comply with these conditions can lead to the formation of a whitish coating on amber, which will remain forever. You can remove dirt, dust and sweat from an amber product with a flannel cloth soaked in mild soapy and slightly warm water. To polish amber and give it a shine, moisten a soft cloth with olive oil and rub the jewelry, remembering to then remove the excess oil with a dry, clean cloth.

If you follow certain rules for wearing, storing and cleaning amber products, the brilliance and beauty of amber products will please you for a long time.

Turquoise is one of the oldest pieces of jewelry, with many legends and many ways to care for it. Animal fat has a very beneficial effect on turquoise, and vegetable fat harms turquoise. Turquoise is an unstable compound, over time it also loses its original color, it reacts especially painfully to soap and fats. Turquoise is porous, easily absorbs fats, aromatic substances and under their influence can change color. When washing hands, it is better to remove rings with turquoise. Jewelry and decorations are also sensitive to cosmetics, hairspray, powder, perfume, deodorants, sunscreen and so on. In addition, jewelry should be protected from vapours, greases and oils. And this applies to pearls in the first place.

Pearls are very moisture-loving, with a lack of moisture, they fade and crack over time, also the enemy of pearls is high temperature, bright sunlight, polluted air, as well as our perfumes, creams and other cosmetics, where all sorts of fragrances are present. Pearls can be washed in a neutral solution of shampoo and warm water, and then rinsed with running water, you can also clean the pearls with potato starch, this helps to remove excess moisture and dirt. Pearls contain organic matter that can dry out and decompose, so pearls have a certain lifespan, then they fade, delaminate, and collapse. However, when properly stored, pearls do not lose their beauty for many hundreds of years. First of all, in order for pearls not to age, they must be worn. Pearls need to be looked after, even if you haven’t worn them for a long time. Old pearls, if treated with a weak solution of hydrochloric or acetic acid, will look better. It is advisable to store pearls in a special case or wrapped in a soft cloth separately from other jewelry and metal objects.

Opal is an amorphous stone, it cannot stay in the sun for a long time – it dehydrates, loses its iridescence, becomes milky white, and opal also does not like sudden temperature changes, which can cause cracking due to the large amount of moisture contained in the opal . Natural opals contain 6-10% water. Such a high water content in opal is due to the porous structure of this stone. This means that opals easily absorb not only moisture, but also perfumes, hairsprays, cosmetics, which, over time, damages this stone. Opals are not very hard stones like diamonds, so they should be protected from impact and abrasive materials; clean only in a soapy solution, as well as amber – ultrasonic and steam treatment is contraindicated for opal. To maintain the necessary moisture, prevent cracking and dehydration, opal jewelry is smeared from time to time with a soft cloth with a small amount of glycerin.

In addition to turquoise, opal and pearls, ruby, blue topaz, garnet and some other tinted or artificially irradiated stones lose their color in bright sunlight, so jewelry with them should be stored in the dark and preferably in a jewelry box. There are recommendations for various stones for all occasions: amethysts, ametrines, aquamarines, garnets, peridots, topazes, tourmalines, citrines are suitable for everyday wear, but you should avoid direct sunlight, heat and contact with chemicals that can change color.

If the stone in your jewelry is somewhat dull and has lost its luster, it must be cleaned and accumulated dirt removed. Jewelry with stones with a hardness factor of at least 5 (diamond, sapphire, emerald, ruby) can be cleaned in a solution of any washing powder with a soft brush – but only if the metal of the jewelry is gold, platinum, radiated silver. Jewelry with topazes, citrines and others can be washed in warm soapy water (1/2 cup) with the addition of ammonia (1 teaspoon). Diamonds, rubies, sapphires are well cleaned in a solution: 100 g of warm water, 25 g of baking soda, 10 g of bleach, 6 g of table salt, then rinse in clean water and wipe with a flannel. To prevent dark spots from contact with wet skin on gold jewelry, remove the jewelry and wipe it with suede or flannel.

Clean your jewelry as often as possible, it is advisable to keep your jewelry well under running water after each day of wearing, because in addition to organic and non-organic impurities, the negative energy received by us during the day will disappear with water (the stones take away the negative energy directed at us and if they are not rinsed with running water for a long time, they can crack and from this). The most convenient and safest way to care for gemstone jewelry is to use special “jewelry cosmetics”. A wide range of various cleaning products (liquids, foams, wipes) are now being produced, designed to care for all types of natural stones and gold, platinum and silver alloys.
