How to Care for Natural Gemstone Jewelry

Natural gemstone jewelry is timeless and meaningful. Because these stones are created by nature, they require a little extra care to maintain their beauty over time. With simple daily habits, your gemstone jewelry can stay beautiful for years and even become a cherished keepsake.

Here are some easy and practical tips to help you care for your natural gemstone jewelry.

1. Keep Your Jewelry Away from Water and Chemicals

Natural gemstones can be sensitive to water and everyday chemicals. It is best to remove your jewelry before showering, swimming, or washing your hands for long periods. Perfume, lotions, and hair products should always be applied before putting on your jewelry.

Pieces made with natural stones and pearls, like this Royal Aegean Lapis Lazuli Necklace

should always be worn as the final touch after getting ready.

2. Store Each Piece with Care

How you store your jewelry matters just as much as how you wear it. Each piece should be kept separately to prevent scratching or tangling. A soft fabric pouch ( we add fabric pouch to your order) or a lined jewelry box works best.

Delicate handmade designs such as this Forest Moss Agate Necklace benefit from being stored individually, away from direct sunlight and humidity.

3. Wear Mindfully

Gemstone jewelry is perfect for everyday elegance, but it should be removed during physical activities, household chores, or while sleeping. These moments can cause unnecessary pressure or impact on the stones and settings.

Wearing your jewelry mindfully helps protect both the gemstones and the craftsmanship behind each piece.

4. Embrace the Natural Character of Gemstones

Every natural gemstone is unique. Small variations in color, texture, or pattern are part of their beauty and should be appreciated rather than seen as imperfections. These natural details are what make each piece truly one of a kind.
