Clean your gemstones regularly

Gemstones can lose their luster if they are not cleaned regularly. You can clean them with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners as they can damage some gemstones.

Store your gemstones properly

To prevent your gemstones from getting scratched or damaged, it's important to store them properly. Keep them in a soft pouch or a separate compartment in your jewelry box. Avoid storing them with other jewelry that could scratch them.

Handle your gemstones with care

Gemstones can be brittle and easily chipped or cracked if mishandled. When wearing gemstone jewelry, avoid wearing it while doing rough work or engaging in sports or other activities where the jewelry could get knocked or bumped.

Be aware of the Mohs scale

The Mohs scale is a measure of a mineral's hardness. Gemstones with a higher number on the Mohs scale are more scratch-resistant and durable. For example, diamonds are the hardest mineral and can only be scratched by other diamonds. Softer gemstones like opals and pearls require more gentle care.

By following these simple tips, you can help your gemstone jewelry and accessories last for years to come
