How to Care for Your Natural Stone Jewelry – A Gentle & Practical Guide to Preserve Their Beauty
Share
Natural stone jewelry is more than just an accessory.
Each piece carries a story, an energy, a unique glow – chosen for its beauty… or for the way it speaks to your soul.
Whether you wear a Rosaline bracelet in rose quartz with a golden heart, a labradorite necklace, or Lamina earrings in striped amethyst – every jewel deserves gentle care.
Here is a simple, heartfelt guide to help you take care of your natural treasures… and extend their magic, day after day.
1. Get to know your stone
Each natural stone is unique. Some, like quartz or amethyst, are durable. Others, like turquoise or onyx, are more delicate.
Knowing which stone your jewel is made of helps you honour it. Don’t hesitate to look up its properties and hardness to better adapt your care routine.
2. Clean them gently – and regularly
-
Use mild soap and lukewarm water – avoid harsh or abrasive cleaners
-
Use a soft cloth or brush – gently rub without pressure
-
Rinse well with clean water
-
Dry immediately with a clean cloth (avoid air drying to prevent marks)
A gentle cleanse once a month is enough to maintain their shine without damaging them.
3. Avoid chemicals
Perfume, creams, cleaning products… Everyday substances can dull your stone, alter its colour, or weaken its surface.
Good habit: remove your jewelry before applying perfume, makeup, or doing household chores. A small action… for a long-lasting connection.
4. Store them with care
Natural stones can scratch when in contact with other jewelry or objects.
Store them in:
-
A soft fabric pouch
-
A compartmentalized jewelry box
-
A dry, dark place – away from humidity and direct light
5. Avoid shocks and intense wear
Avoid wearing your jewelry:
-
During sports or physical activity
-
While doing housework or manual tasks
-
In contact with hard surfaces
6. Love them – simply
Admire their colour, their reflections, their texture…
These jewels tell a story. The more you wear them consciously, the more you create a personal, energetic, and aesthetic bond.
In summary
Taking care of your natural stone jewelry is an act of love – for them, but also for yourself.
-
Clean them gently
-
Protect them daily
-
Honour their beauty, their fragility, their energy
-
And above all… wear them as an extension of your inner self
