Caring For Coloured Gemstones

Buying a gemstone is your investment in lasting beauty. Treat it accordingly.

A gemstone's durability makes it capable of lasting for generations - but it must be handled with care.

Here are some easy guidelines for taking care of your gemstones:

• Keep your jewellery separated when you put it away. Never let one item touch another, and always put it on soft fabric.
• Apply your colognes and toiletries before you put on your jewellery.
• Clean your jewellery regularly. Ask your jeweller to recommend the proper cleaning methods.
• Bring your gemstones to your jeweller every year. He can give them an expert cleaning, and also check that the stones are secure in their settings.

Finally, rely on your jeweller - before and after your purchase. He's here today, not only to sell his merchandise to you, but also tomorrow, to give you service and advice.
