How to Care for Your Jewelry
Store it thoughtfully
Keep your jewelry in a soft pouch or a lined box, away from direct sunlight and humidity. This helps prevent fading and protects the stone’s energy.
Clean it gently
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away skin oils or dust. Avoid soaking, scrubbing, or using commercial jewelry cleaners, especially on stones like shell, turquoise, or moonstone.
Avoid
-
Harsh chemicals (perfume, hairspray, cleaning sprays)
-
Storing multiple pieces for together (to prevent scratches)
-
Tugging, twisting, or bending components
Remove before bathing, swimming, or sleeping
Many natural stones are porous and can be damaged by prolonged water exposure. Likewise, chemicals in pools or lotions can dull shine and affect durability.
Charge with intention
If you enjoy working with energy or crystal meanings, place your jewelry in the moonlight or on a selenite slab to cleanse and recharge it.

The diamond is the hardest natural gemstone in the world and measures a ten on the hardness scale. Gemstones measured at a one can be easily scratched with a fingernail.
