How to Care for Your Colombian Emerald Jewellery

(A little mindfulness keeps your emerald luminous for a lifetime.)

Colombian emeralds are among the world’s most treasured gemstones : vibrant, alive, and full of character.

With gentle care, your emerald will remain radiant for generations.

1. Clean With Care — Emeralds Prefer Gentleness :Unlike diamonds, emeralds are naturally more delicate because of their crystal structure.

To clean safely:

• Use lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap
  
• Swish gently with your fingers (no scrubbing)
  
• Pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth
  

Avoid:

• Ultrasonic cleaners
  
• Steam cleaners
  
• Harsh chemicals
  

These can damage the stone or affect natural inclusions.

2. Keep Away From Heat & Sudden Temperature Changes

Emeralds do not like extreme conditions.

Avoid exposing your jewellery to:

• Hot water
  
• Direct heat sources
  
• Saunas
  
• Sudden temperature shifts
  

These can weaken the stone or loosen the setting over time.

3. Last On, First Off : As with all fine jewellery, emeralds should be the final touch to your look.

Put them on after: Perfume, Hairspray, Makeup, Lotion
These products can create a film on the stone that dulls its shine.

4. Avoid Wearing During Impact or Exercise : Emeralds are precious and should be protected from knocks.

Remove your jewellery before: Gym workouts, Yoga, Swimming, Gardening, Housework, Lifting heavy objects. This protects both the gemstone and the setting.

5. Store Separately : Emeralds can scratch and be scratched by other stones.

Store your piece in: A soft pouch, A lined jewellery box, A dedicated compartment, This keeps both the metal and the stone pristine.
