5 Important Tips to Caring For Gemstone Jewelry

November 5th, 2009

Many women love to add a touch of color to their wardrobe, and there is no better way to do so than with gemstone jewelry. By definition, a gemstone is a mineral or stone suitable for use in jewelry after having been cut and polished. Available in virtually every color imaginable, gemstones can add the perfect compliment to your favorite pieces of jewelry. Below are five tips to caring for both precious and semi-precious gemstone jewelry:

* Amethyst jewelry should be stored out of direct sunlight. Why? Believe it or not, this beautiful gemstone can actually fade if exposed to the sun for long periods of time. Therefore, it’s advisable that you store your amethyst jewelry in a gift box, jewelry case or other dark space in order to help retain its vibrant coloration.

* When cleaning gemstone jewelry, consider a homemade remedy to help keep your accessories shining. A combination of soap and water can cleanse most gemstones safely, and may be less harsh than commercial jewelry cleaners.

* As you clean your gemstone jewelry, pay close attention to the utensil(s) that you choose. Avoid any brush or other product that features bristles, which may scratch the surface of your gemstone. Instead, use a soft cloth that has no rough areas which could potentially damage the stone.

* Before using any type of commercial jewelry cleaning product, always pay close attention to the directions. The reason is because not all cleaners are safe for all gemstones and, in order to maintain the beauty of your jewelry, it’s important to carefully read the instructions. Whether you are removing tarnish from your sterling silver gemstone jewelry or simply adding a little shine to your collection, always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and consider alternative methods for cleaning your jewelry if necessary.

* When storing gemstone jewelry, make sure to place it in such a way that it will not easily come into contact with other pieces from your collection. Why? If your jewelry were to get tumbled around, the gemstones could be scratched or even broken. Many natural gemstones are durable, but they can still be scratched and even damaged if not properly cared for. If you want to ensure the protection of your jewelry, store each piece in a small zip-tight jewelry bag when it is not being worn. If you are a wearer of sterling silver, this storage method will also help to slow the tarnishing process.

Now that you know how to care for your gemstone jewelry, it’s important to know where to find the greatest deals. Many fantastic bargains can be found online, and especially if you know where to shop. Online retailers often grant coupons, shipping discounts and even sale prices to virtual visitors who browse their internet shop. If you’re in the market for a new piece of gemstone jewelry, consider choosing a retailer who specializes in your metal of choice. If you are a sterling silver wearer, for instance, look for a business that caters to those who enjoy the beauty of this precious and affordable metal. With this approach, you are sure to find the best selection and plenty of colors to suit your style.

Beautiful Swarovski Stones

Beautiful Stones – Worn With Passion

Rhinestones
The Rhine in ?rhinestones? comes from the Rhine River, where the rock crystals were originally gathered, and the ?Rhinestone? is a translation into English of the French phrase ?Caillou du Rhin?.

The idea of coating the lower side of the glass with metal powder enabled stones to imitate diamonds and a further development of applying the ?Aurora Borealis? a coating applied to crystal stones to produce a rainbow of colours is another effect that gives Rhinestones their glittering appearance.

Swarovski Stones http://www.hgexclusive.com/stones.php
In 1892 Daniel Swarovski developed a machine which made it possible to cut crystal to perfection and so invented ?swarovski? stones.  In 1933 Swarovski began to produce its own crystal in a plant at Wattens, Austria.  The swarovski crystals were flawless, and brilliantly cut jewellery stones and are used today by jewellery manufacturers throughout the world.
