Sparkly Dark Crystal Jewellery Set

Sparkly Dark Crystal Jewellery Set


There are a lot of jewellery available in the market today. A lot of people are fascinated about wearing jewellery. Depending on a person’s preference, they can choose whatever type of jewellery they like. Some prefer to wear fashion or costume jewellery which is less expensive while some like the brilliance and quality of fine jewellery.

Jewellery can be made of a wide variety of metals such as sterling silver, gold, platinum, titanium, stainless steel. To make the jewellery even more attractive, gemstones can be added. These may include pearls, alaqueca, turquoise, howlite, moonstone, coral, diamonds, rubies or emeralds. Instead of wearing a single piece of jewellery, some may prefer matching or contrasting jewellery set to enhance the hues and tones in their outfit.

Caring for your gemstone jewellery

EASY STEPS / CARE
     
  1. Keep each gemstone set in a different compartment of your jewellery cabinet or in separate     jewellery pouches to avoid them rubbing against each other.
  2. Ensure the separate compartments or jewellery pouches are spacious enough to comfortably lay your individual jewellery set. Remember different gemstones have variying levels of hardness and can easily abrase others!
  3. For hard, non-porous gemstones**, you can use a very dilute solution of ammonia and rinse with lukewarm water. Then wipe gently with a lint- free cloth. It's safe to do gentle scrubbing with a soft-bristled toothbrush, on stones harder than quartz (moh's hardness of 7). Be careful not to scrub highly polished metal surfaces, as the slight abrasive action of the brush will produce a slightly hazy effect on the metal. A little soaking may be necessary to remove heavier deposits or alternatively you may need to soak your gemstone jewellery for a short period to remove .Please remember to check your jewellery from time-to-time to ensure the removal of the residual deposits. Then remove from solution as soon as desired effect is attained.
  4.  Pearls, Coral, and soft, delicate, Porous Stones such as Opal, Turquoise, or Malachite should be  kept away from unclean water and oils to avoid discoloration. You can clean these by wiping gently  with a soft, damp cloth. Do not wear your rings containing these stones while washing dishes or carrying out similar activities.
  5. If you are about to apply body or hand lotions, remember to remove your gemstone jewellery before first. This will help prevent buildup of residues, such as, dirt and oil around  your gemstones.
**Non-Porous Gemstones: e.g. gold, platinum, synthetic/created Emerald, Garnet, Moissanite, Peridot, natural Ruby, synthetic/created Ruby, natural Sapphire, synthetic/created Sapphire, Topaz, Tourmaline, Zircon, natural Alexandrite, synthetic/created Alexandrite, Amethyst, Aquamarine, Citrine, Cubic Zirconia, natural Diamond, synthetic/man-made Diamond

                                                                            

** The cleansers for non porous gemstones can be a little more acidic in nature and are usually cleaned with jewellery cleansers without damaging their material component. They are also the most common gemstones used in jewellery. However, Silver and Porous Gemstones such as Opals, Emeralds, Pearls, Lapis Lazuli, Topaz, Onyx and Amber need a much gentler cleaner (soft damp cloth).
