Caring for Your Emerald Jewelry: Expert Tips for Lasting Brilliance
Emeralds are living pieces of Earth’s artistry, captivating hearts with their lush green color and inner glow. To keep your emerald jewelry shining, follow these simple yet effective care tips.
Handle with Care
Emeralds are delicate, with a Mohs hardness of 7.5-8, making them prone to scratches and chips. Treat your emerald like silk – beautiful and deserving of care.
– Avoid wearing emeralds during sports, workouts, or rough tasks
– Put on your jewelry after applying makeup, perfume, or lotion
– Store it safely and gently
Keep it Away from Heat and Chemicals
Heat and chemicals can strip away the natural oils that enhance your emerald’s shine and clarity. Opt for gentle cleaning with lukewarm water, mild soap, and a soft brush or cloth.
– Avoid harsh cleaners, ultrasonic or steam cleaning
– Limit exposure to direct sunlight
Store it Like a Treasure
Store your emerald jewelry separately, wrapped in a soft cloth or fabric-lined box, to prevent scratches.
– Use a ring box for rings
– Soft pouches for necklaces and earrings
