Gemstone Jewellery Care
To ensure that your special “Charms Of Light” remain as clean, shiny and full of energy as you receive them, please follow the instructions below. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me.
Everyday Use and Care
Most gemstone jewellery is fairly durable, but some care does need to be taken.
- Remove jewellery before doing any housework - household cleaners are corrosive and may permanently damage your gems;
- Remove jewellery before swimming or showering - chlorine, some soaps and just immersing in water, may cause damage to your gemstones or their settings;
- Only put on your jewellery after perfume and/or hair care products have dried - these may cause breakdown of the stones;
- Store in a dark place, out of direct sunlight, in a pouch or ziplock bag - sunlight may cause fading of stones and the humidity in the air can cause tarnishing to silver.
Cleaning
Silver can tarnish quite easily, leaving it looking black and dirty. To ensure that your silver is kept shiny it can be polished gently with a jewellery cloth. Avoid harsh polishes and tarnish removers as these can cause your gemstones to become dull and fade.
A soft cloth can be used to wipe over all your gemstones. As some gemstones are more sensitive to getting wet than others, it is always better to keep them dry as much as possible.
