Caring for your Gemstones

Gems are among the most durable of nature's creations. With a little care, they will be as beautiful for generations to come as they are today.

Gem Care Tips:
The best way to clean your gemstone jewellery is in a bowl of water with a few drops of ordinary dish detergent. Using an old toothbrush or other soft brush, scrub gently behind the stone where dust and soap can collect. Then just rinse and pat dry with a soft cloth.

A home ultrasonic cleaner should be used with extreme caution. It can be used to clean Ruby, Sapphire, Diamond, Amethyst, Citrine, Garnets, Chrysoberyl, and unadorned gold jewellery but it may damage gems like Emerald, Tourmaline, Peridot, Pearls, Coral, Lapis Lazuli, Turquoise, and any gem that has many inclusions. When in doubt, don't use it.

Remove your jewellery before vigorous activities.  Every day household items can ruin your gemstone jewellery. Make sure you don't expose your gems to the chemicals in cleaning products, hair care products, fragrances and cosmetics.
