Gemstone Care Guide
Gemstones are precious and require special care to maintain their natural beauty. Follow these guidelines to ensure your Piavani gemstone jewelry stays vibrant for years to come:
General Tips:
-
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Keep gemstone jewelry away from chemicals, including household cleaners, perfumes, and cosmetics. Chemicals can damage the stone's composition and affect its luster.
-
Store Separately: Store gemstone jewelry separately to prevent scratches. Ideally, use individual pouches or jewelry boxes to protect each piece.
-
Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect your gemstone jewelry for any loose settings or damage. Promptly address any issues to prevent further damage.
Cleaning Gemstones:
-
Gentle Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the gemstone's surface after each wear. This helps remove oils and residues, maintaining its brilliance.
-
Mild Soapy Water: For a deeper clean, mix mild soap with lukewarm water. Use a soft brush (like a toothbrush) to clean the gemstone, ensuring you reach all crevices. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.
-
Avoid Ultrasonic Cleaners: Some gemstones are sensitive to ultrasonic cleaning machines. Check your gemstone's specific care requirements before using such devices.
Gemstone-Specific Care:
-
Diamonds: Diamonds are durable but can attract grease. Clean with mild soapy water and a soft brush. Avoid using abrasive materials.
-
Emeralds: Emeralds are softer and porous. Clean with a damp, soft cloth and avoid harsh chemicals. Oil treatment may be necessary over time.
-
Sapphires and Rubies: These gemstones are durable. Clean with mild soap and water. Check settings for any looseness.
-
Pearls: Pearls are delicate and should be stored separately. Avoid exposing them to chemicals, including perfumes. Wipe with a soft cloth after wear.
Professional Inspection:
- Expert Opinion: If in doubt about cleaning or maintaining specific gemstones, seek professional advice. Consult a jeweler experienced in gemstone care for a thorough inspection and cleaning.
