Although gemstones are among the most durable of substances, they do need some care. Following a few general rules will make sure that they last for generations still looking like the day you bought them. Here is a not all inclusive list of recommendations for cleaning and storing your natural stone jewelry. These guidelinesapply specifically to the stone jewelry offered by the Pendant Place and may or may not apply to other types of stones.· First of all: keep them clean!Opaque gemstones like Labradorite, Malachite and Tigers Eye require special care. Ultrasonic cleaners are not recommended and never use ammonia or any chemical solution such as dips. These gem materials should just be wiped clean gently with a moist cloth. Natural gemstones can be porous and may absorb chemicals, even soap, which may build up inside the stone and discolor it.· Only use 100% cotton as a polishing cloth when cleaning your Natural Gemstone Jewelry. To remove tarnishfrom silver or gold we recommend Sunshine Cloths. Other materials can be too abrasive and leave finescratches in the silver and can dull the highly polished stones. ·Never use toothpaste or other abrasives to clean metal or stones. The abrasives in toothpaste can damage the surface of the metal and can scuff the surface on softer stones. ·Alcohol should never be used to clean stones.·Remove jewelry before swimming, Chlorine and related chemicals can severely discolor and damage jewelry as well as loosen stones and settings. Put your jewelry on after using cosmetics, hair spray or perfumes to avoid contact with substances and chemicals which could damage the stones.Storage Store each piece of gemstone jewelry separately so that harder stones don't scratch softer ones. Almost everygemstone is much harder than the metal it is set in. Gems can scratch the finish on your gold, silver or platinum if youthrow your jewelry in a heap in a drawer or jewelry box. Storing in anti-tarnish bags is good way to help prevent scratchesas well as tarnishing.Although these stones are hard and durable a sharp blow with a hard object or dropping them on a hard surface cancause them to crack, chip or even shatter. Even a diamond can be broken in this manner.Natural Gemstone Jewelry Care
