Jewelry Care & Maintenance
Here’s a concise list of the top 5 care points for turquoise jewelry, based on its sensitivity and maintenance needs:
-
Avoid Exposure to Chemicals
-
Remove jewelry before applying perfumes, lotions, or cleaning products. Harsh chemicals can erode the stone or alter its color.
-
-
Limit Water Contact
-
Take off turquoise before swimming, showering, or washing hands. Prolonged moisture can weaken the stone or damage its porous structure.
-
-
Clean Gently
-
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap (no soaking). Avoid ultrasonic cleaners or abrasive materials.
-
-
Store Separately
-
Keep turquoise in a soft pouch or lined jewelry box away from harder gems/metals to prevent scratches and physical damage.
-
-
Protect from Heat and Sunlight
-
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or high heat (e.g., hot cars), which can dry out the stone, cause cracks, or fade its color.
-
By following these steps, you’ll preserve the vibrant color and integrity of turquoise jewelry for years! 💎
