Jewelry Care & Maintenance

       

Here’s a concise list of the top 5 care points for turquoise jewelry, based on its sensitivity and maintenance needs:

1. Avoid Exposure to Chemicals

   • Remove jewelry before applying perfumes, lotions, or cleaning products. Harsh chemicals can erode the stone or alter its color.

2. Limit Water Contact

   • Take off turquoise before swimming, showering, or washing hands. Prolonged moisture can weaken the stone or damage its porous structure.

3. 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.

4. Store Separately

   • Keep turquoise in a soft pouch or lined jewelry box away from harder gems/metals to prevent scratches and physical damage.

5. 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! 💎
