Black Spinel

Maintenance Black Spinel

  • Moderate

    • Warm water with soap or a gentle professional jewelry solution.
    • Avoid ultrasonic cleaners if the stone is not clearly compatible (e.g., some amethysts or topazes may be affected).
    • Avoid steam cleaning unless specifically safe for that stone.

  • Exposure Precautions

    • Remove jewelry before intense physical activities or entering chlorinated pools.
    • Avoid contact with strong chemicals (chlorine, ammonia).
    • Some stones may lose color with prolonged sun exposure; store them properly.

  • Storage Recommendations

    • Store in soft pouches or separate compartments to prevent scratches.
    • If the metal oxidizes easily (like some silver alloys), consider anti-tarnish strips.
    • Avoid areas with high humidity (bathrooms, saunas).
