❓ Care Questions
How do I clean my gemstone jewelry?
Use warm soapy water with mild dish soap and a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly and dry with soft cloth. Clean every 2-4 weeks for daily wear pieces. Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners for soft stones.
How should I store gemstones?
Store separately by hardness in soft pouches or fabric-lined boxes. Keep away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Never store all jewelry together as harder stones can scratch softer ones.
