JCK Esprit Designs jewelry is extremely well crafted and if cared for properly can be enjoyed for generations. Air pollutants, dust, perspiration, perfumes and other natural elements can dull the appearance of gemstones or precious metals. Because of this, it is always good practice to wipe down your jewelry with a cotton cloth after wear.
Even though your gemstone jewelry is cleansed before you receive it, it is still very important that you take the time to cleanse your gemstone jewelry before you wear it. There are many ways you can cleanse your gemstone jewelry! Here are our top 4 ways that we recommend:
- Place your jewelry on the soil or branches of a healthy houseplant for 24 hours.
- Place your jewelry outside under the sun or full moon for at least 4 hours.
- Steadily hold your jewelry in the smoke of a burning Sage stick or Palo Santo stick until your piece becomes still.
- Lay your jewelry on a piece of Selenite or Quartz Crystal for at least 6 hours.
We recommend cleansing your jewelry when it begins to feel heavy. As a general guideline, cleanse your jewelry every 5-7 days to keep your crystals at their highest vibration possible.
HOW TO AVOID DAMAGING GEMSTONES
Some gemstones are by nature more fragile than others. In general, you can prevent many problems by not exposing gemstones to common elements such as:
- Chlorine
- Household cleaning chemicals
- Extreme heat or light
- Salt water
- Hairspray
- Lotions
All gemstones can chip, scratch, or abrade under the right circumstances. Avoid your bracelets while playing sports or doing any manual labor, including housework. Jewelry should be taken off before strenuous activity or during times when it might be subjected to sharp blows or excessive friction.
When not in use, always store your jewelry in the pouch you received when purchased. Store each piece of gemstone jewelry separately in its own storage pouch to prevent excessive tarnishing or scratching.
