Colorful gemstones are a favorite accessory among our female friends, such as rubies, emeralds, and so on. Some people pursue bright colors, while others think that videos made of treasures are very high-end and look grand. No matter what the reason is, even if you buy your favorite jewelry, you still need to take good care of it. If it is due to negligence in cleaning that can easily cause damage to gemstones, today we
will take a look at the maintenance rules of various colored gemstones. 1、 Natural sapphires are relatively rare among major gemstones, which is why their price is not cheap. Despite spending so much money, we still need to take good care of it and keep its luster intact! The first maintenance rule is that no matter what gemstone you wear, you must avoid exercising or doing heavy household chores. That is to say, when we need to move with amplitude, we need to remove these gems to avoid collisions and scratches during the activity. It is also to avoid wear and tear, so all kinds of gemstones must be placed separately. It is best to place it in a dedicated jewelry box.
For example, some friends may have many different types of gemstones, which are easily worn out if they are not stored and taken off before being thrown on the table. Finally, sapphire can easily lose its luster when it comes into contact with the oil and sweat secreted by the human body, so wearing a gemstone should be cleaned once a month.
The cleaning of sapphires only requires the use of plain soapy water and a soft bristled brush, and it is important to avoid using bleach. Bleach water can oxidize the alloy parts of sapphire jewelry, which can easily turn gray and black. 2、 Emeralds are also popular among colorful treasures. The knowledge that everyone needs to know here is that almost 90% of natural emerald has cracks, which are inevitably caused during its formation process. So we need to be more careful when wearing it in daily life, as mentioned earlier, to avoid collisions and not to put it together with other gems. When cleaning emerald jewelry, do not use ultrasonic cleaners or high-temperature cleaning. Simply wipe it with warm water or soapy water. 3、 Ruby has a high density, so there is no need to be particularly careful when wearing it. However, it is still important to avoid strong collisions, and after removing the gemstone, it is necessary to pay attention to proper storage. And it is necessary to check the ruby jewelry at least once a month to avoid the occurrence of inlay detachment.
Special attention should also be paid to the cleaning of rubies. We cannot use toothpaste, laundry detergent containing abrasives, cleaning agents, etc. to clean rubies. Instead, we need to use mild soapy water and use soft bristled brushes. In some embedded structures, dental floss or toothpicks can be used for cleaning. 4、 Firstly, tourmaline is brittle. All kinds of gemstones must be specially stored, because the hardness of tourmaline is lower than that of ruby and sapphire.
The cleaning of tourmaline is also relatively simple. Simply soak the tourmaline in clean water for several hours. Similarly, any gemstone jewelry should have its inlay checked once a month and cleaned thoroughly.
