3 helpful tips for taking care of your own gemstones!
Jewels, as is known, require care and attention to last over time without losing their shine. Just as it is necessary to pay attention to the proper cleaning of metals, it is also good to know how to care for precious stones and pearls. Let’s look together at 3 useful tips for taking care of your gems!
Caring for your gems: cleaning!
It is normal for a bit of grease to gradually build up on the surface of gems, often due to the use of soaps and creams in contact with bracelets and rings. It is possible to perform a home-made cleaning, thanks to specific products to use with our valuables, always with gentleness and care. Or, for the more meticulous, bringing your jewels to a trusted jeweller will allow you to have a safe and thorough cleaning service, carried out by experts in the field!

Storing jewels: beware of the jewellery box!
A precaution not everyone knows is to take when storing our accessories in a jewellery box or a specific case. Jewels, in fact, must remain separate from each other to avoid gems, which have different hardness levels, from being damaged due to rubbing. Pay special attention to the emerald, which is very fragile and risks damage if it suffers a knock!
Water and pearls: two different worlds
In the case of pearls, it is good to pay great attention to their care. Although they are born in the depths, they are a gem decidedly sensitive to water, detergents, and sweat. Every time we wear them, therefore, let us remember to gently dry them with a cloth before storing them, to preserve their natural shine. It is important to be very careful and thus avoid pearls coming into contact with chemical liquids, such as hairsprays and perfumes, or we risk damaging them!
