Make sure that gemstones do not come too close and rub against one another. Stones with different degrees of hardness mean that they can easily scratch one another.
CORRECT STORAGE
You should store your gemstone jewellery in separate locations protected from one another. The best way to do this is to use a jewellery box with separate compartments. This will also prevent dust consisting of tiny but very hard quartz particles from damaging the polish and beauty of your stones.
TAKE OFF YOUR JEWELLRY WHEN WORKING
Hard blows can split or break a gemstone. For that reason, you should not wear large colour gemstones or gemstones with inclusions while doing the housework or gardening.
AVOID CHEMICALS
Only put on your pearls and other jewellery with gemstones after you have applied all creams, deodorants and perfumes and finished the housework.
AVOID STRONG SUNLIGHT
Do not expose colour gemstones and pearls to extreme sunlight over extended periods of time; the same applies to solariums and sun lamps because the rays can cause the intensity of colour of the stones to fade.
