Natural stone jewelry has become one of the most in demand accessories these days. This is because these jewelries are very warm and vibrant. They can come in different forms, cuts, styles, and colors. These are usually the accessories of choice when ones to look casual yet chic. However, many designs are also perfect for formal wear making these jewelries one of the most versatile type of accessory.

Jewelries can easily become worn out especially when used all the time. The only way to keep the sparkle and the shine is to know how to maintain such precious accessories. Owners should keep them clean at all times. Not all jewelries, however, should be cleaned at the same manner. It is best to refer to the cleaning instructions that are specific to the material the accessory is made of.

When cleaning jewelries made from natural stones, you should be considerate of the substances that you are going to use. Do not apply anything if you are not sure if it is safe or not. When in doubt, the safest substance you can use is water for it will not degrade or do something with the colors. Anything harsh should be avoided.

Be very careful with the way that you will treat your jewelries. Do not place them in any place that you like when you want to take them off already. Another big mistake some people do is to leave their jewelries in their pocket or bag. Jewelries should be placed back in their rightful place to avoid misplacing and damaging them.

To keep jewelries in good condition, always place it in a very suitable storage place. It can be placed in the box, in its case, any anywhere that could keep it cool and free from moisture. For jewelries made of stones, it is advisable to wrap them in a soft cloth or tissue to keep them from getting any scratch or scrape.

Stone jewelries do not have the durability present in precious metals like gold and silver. If you are not careful, you might end up with shattered pieces especially when dropped on hard floors. For this reason, one has to practice caution when holding these jewelries. It is highly discouraged to use this if you have wet or sweaty hands.

For jewelries that have other materials aside from stones, one must also pay close attention to these things. Many jewelries these days make use of animal materials like antler, bone, or ivory. Such materials can easily degrade when exposed to moisture and extreme heat or cold.

For jewelries that also have plant material, extra care should be given as well. Anything that is made out of wood should not be soaked in any kind of liquid because of its high absorption rate. It would also help to certain natural oils to keep the wooden material in good condition.

Any fashionable person should own one or two natural stone jewelry. This is an accessory that is worth having in your closet. It is fun to have different kinds of accessories so you can have more style options.
