Colored Gemstone Care Guide

Natural colored gemstones are treasures of the earth each with its own unique beauty, energy, and character. To maintain their brilliance and ensure they last for generations, it’s important to care for them properly. Here are essential guidelines to protect your gemstone jewelry:

1. Avoid Harsh Chemicals

Keep your jewelry away from perfumes, hairsprays, lotions, cleaning agents, and chlorine. These chemicals can dull or damage the surface of colored gemstones and even weaken metal settings.

2. Store Separately

Colored gemstones vary in hardness. To prevent scratches, store each piece in a soft pouch or a separate jewelry box compartment. Never let diamonds come into contact with softer gemstones..

3. Keep Away From Direct Heat & Sunlight

Long-term exposure to high heat or intense sunlight can affect the color of certain gemstones (such as amethyst, turquoise, and some tourmalines). Store them in a cool, shaded place.

4. Remove During Physical Activities

Take off your jewelry during sports, exercise, gardening, cooking, and household chores. Impacts or accidental knocks can loosen stones or damage the settings

5. Clean With Care

Use only mild soap and lukewarm water with a soft brush. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, as many colored gemstones (like emerald, turquoise, and spinel) can be sensitive to vibrations and strong detergents.

6. Avoid Water Exposure

Remove gemstone jewelry before swimming, showering, or washing dishes. Minerals and chemicals in water can harm delicate stones or tarnish gold.

7. Schedule Regular Check-Ups

Have your jewelry inspected by a professional jeweler at least once a year. Regular checks ensure that prongs and settings remain secure and your gemstones stay protected.

8. Keep Away From Cosmetics & Skincare Products

Apply makeup, sunscreen, and creams before putting on your jewelry. Residue buildup can reduce the gemstone’s shine over time.

By following these simple steps, you help preserve the brilliance, purity, and natural beauty of your Lucentset colored gemstone jewelry ensuring that each piece remains as stunning as the day you first wore it.
