Caring for Gemstone Jewelry
Colored gemstone jewelry should be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth.
Maintaining Brilliance
Gemstone jewelry can be worn often but can appear as if it lost its sparkle if not cleaned on a regular basis. Lotions put film on gemstones and reduce their shininess. Don't wear gemstone jewelry while doing rough work. Avoid chlorinated pools and hot tubs. Avoid touching gemstones with your fingers, as smudges can affect a gemstone's luster and brilliance.
Clarity Enhanced Stones
For color or clarity enhanced gemstones, ask a Grader Jewelers professional about cleaning and repair for your gemstone jewelry. For more information about each particular gemstone, read our gemstone guide.
