Cleaning
  • 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

  • If the metal oxidizes easily (like some silver alloys), consider anti-tarnish strips.
