Emerald Care:
As is the case with all jewelry, dirt and grime can collect on your emeralds over time from normal wear. This surface dirt steals away the beautiful color and brilliance you wear them for.
Here are a few simple guidelines to follow to help keep your emeralds as stunning as possible:
- Never clean emeralds using an ultrasonic cleaner.
- Never steam clean an emerald.
- Avoid washing dishes or doing heavy household cleaning while wearing your emerald ring or bracelet.
- Do not clean an emerald using acetone or other harsh solvents.
- Keep your emerald away from sources of high heat.
- Clean your emeralds using room temperature water and a soft toothbrush. Dry with a soft cloth.
- Remove fingerprints and other contact grime using a soft, non-abrasive, lint-free cloth. Get in the habit of quickly buffing your watches and jewels before and after use.
- Avoid dropping or knocking your emeralds against hard surfaces.
- If a piece of emerald jewelry must be repaired, seriously consider removing the stone from the mount to protect it while the repair work is being done.
