SECTION 7: Jewelry Care
How should I store my gemstone jewelry?
Store jewelry in a dry location away from prolonged sunlight, humidity, lotions, perfumes, and chemicals. Keeping pieces separate can help prevent scratching or tangling.
Can gemstones fade in sunlight?
Some gemstones may fade with prolonged direct sun exposure over time. It is best to store gemstone jewelry away from intense sunlight when not being worn.
How do I clean gemstone jewelry?
Use a soft dry or slightly damp cloth to gently clean jewelry. Avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, and prolonged soaking unless you know the specific stone is safe for those methods.
Should I sleep while wearing my jewelry?
Removing jewelry before sleeping can help extend its lifespan and reduce stress on elastic cord, chains, clasps, and stones.
