Avoid harsh chemicals
Many gemstones should not be exposed to bleach, acids, perfumes, or aggressive cleaners. A soft cloth and mild soap are often safer for routine care.
Store pieces separately
Harder stones can scratch softer stones. Store jewelry and loose gemstones in separate pouches, boxes, or compartments.
Be careful with heat and sunlight
Some stones can fade or change with prolonged heat or strong sunlight. Display pieces thoughtfully and ask for stone-specific care guidance.
