Gemstone jewelry is a wonderful investment and can add sparkle and charm to any outfit. Whether it's a subtle touch or a bold statement piece, gemstone jewelry needs good care to maintain its beauty and longevity. In this blog post, we’ll explore some tips on how to properly care for your gemstone jewelry, ensuring each piece remains as stunning as the day you bought it.
General Care Tips
Cleaning Your Jewelry
- Gently clean your gemstone jewelry with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials which might scratch or damage the gem.
- For intricate settings, use a soft brush to reach crevices, especially on pieces like the Rainbow Moonstone Heart Crawler Rings.
Safe Storage
Store each piece individually in a soft pouch or lined box to prevent scratching. Gemstones like those in the Labradorite Dangles can maintain their vibrant look if stored properly.
Avoiding Damage
When performing tasks that could chip or damage your stones, such as gardening or exercising, take off your jewelry. This is particularly important for items with larger stones, like the Mexican Fire Opal Gemstone Rings.
Regular Inspections
Regularly inspect your jewelry for any loose settings or signs of wear. If something doesn't seem right, consult a professional jeweler.
Specific Gemstone Considerations

Opal Care
Opals are relatively soft, meaning pieces like the Opalite Bullet Gemstone Pendant require extra care. Keep them away from extreme temperatures and store them in a cool, dry place. -
Abalone Jewelry
The Abalone Moon & Gemstone Bypass Ring showcases beautiful abalone which can be sensitive to acids and chemicals. Make sure to apply lotions or perfumes before putting on your abalone jewelry.
By following these simple care tips, you can ensure that your gemstone jewelry remains a beloved accessory for years to come. Remember, treating your jewelry with love and respect not only preserves their beauty but also their value.
