Gemstone Buying Guide: Gemstone Care Education


Allurez has outlined a few simple jewelry tips that should be followed to keep your fine gemstone jewelry always looking new:

Cleaning: To clean your precious and semiprecious jewelry, use a non-abrasive jewelry cleaning solution that indicates that it is safe to use with your type of gemstone. Make sure to specifically follow the instructions included with your cleaning solution. After cleaning you may use a soft lint-free cloth to remove any remaining dirt and/or residue.

Wear: While many gemstones have high grades of durability, it is important to understand that gems are not indestructible. You should be careful to avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive surfaces, and sharp blows to your jewelry throughout your day-to-day routine.

Storing: It is best to store your gem stone jewelry in small boxes or fabric pouches.  Storing each piece of gem jewelry separately is also important as gemstones (being harder than other types of jewelry such as gold and silver) can scratch other types of jewelry.
