Jewelry Care Tips
1. Handling Your Rings in a correct way: When putting on or taking off a ring, avoid touching the gemstone directly.
2. Humidify Your Gems: Some gemstones, like jade, jadeite, opal, and emerald, require a certain level of humidity.
3. The Breath and Buff Method: To keep your rings sparkling, simply breathe on them and wipe them with a soft cloth. This removes dirt and oils that can build up from handling.
4. A Simple Soak: The easiest way to clean jewelry is to soak it in warm, soapy water for a few minutes, then gently scrub with a soft toothbrush.
5. Regular Professional Check-ups: Schedule a check-up with a reputable jeweler every year or so to inspect each piece.
6. While ultrasonic cleaners are effective for diamonds, they can damage other gemstones by enlarging existing cracks or causing the gemstone to fracture.
7. Ionic cleaners are a safer and more effective alternative for most types of jewelry. They are easy to use and affordable.
