Doing this protects your valuable jewelry against any potential knocks, as even diamonds – the Earth’s strongest material – can be damaged by heavy impacts. Also make sure to regularly check the setting on your jewelry so that your diamonds last for a long time. Caring for colored gemstones Colored gemstones should not rub against each other because the different levels of scratch resistance may lead them to scratch each other. It is best to keep jewelry pieces with colored gemstones separate from each other. Jewelry boxes are excellent for this since they are lined with plush materials and protect jewelry against dust. Just like diamonds, jewelry with set gemstones should be protected against hard knocks. Excessive impacts can crack or even break colored gemstones. For this reason, you should not wear them in the kitchen or when gardening. Strong, direct sunlight has a negative impact on the color intensity of colored gemstones. This is why you should never leave your jewelry in the sun unprotected for too long. Nice to know Scratch resistance is something that interests both goldsmiths as well as wearers of jewelry. It defines the resistance that a mineral offers when it is scratched with a sharp object. The scratch resistance shows how hard a mineral is. Caring for pearls Pearls are sensitive, and creams or perfumes can reduce the sheen of them. Try to apply your cosmetics and fragrances first before putting on your pearl jewelry. The silk thread on which your pearls are hung can become weak over time, so have the condition of your necklace checked regularly. Safe and sound – storing jewelry Keep every piece of jewelry out of direct light in a separate, cushioned box or jewelry compartment. In particular, chains and necklaces with large links should be done up and stored lying flat so that they do not kink. Fine and delicate chains are to be stored wrapped up in a cloth and lying flat so that they do not become tangled. Your pearl jewelry is well protected against sharp objects and direct sunlight when it is stored in a bag.
