Chicherjewelry suggests using a gentle dish detergent to clean the lotion buildup from the bottom of the mounting. Simply scrub the top and bottom with a soft toothbrush and rinse several times in hot water. For extra shine, soak your ring in a small bowl of ammonia diluted with three times the amount of water, and gently brush the top and bottom of the mounting with a soft toothbrush. Dip the ring into the solution again, then rinse in warm water several times to be sure to get all of the solutions off. You may set the ring on a soft towel to dry, or gently pat it dry.
NOTE: IF YOU DO THIS OVER AN OPEN DRAIN, USE A STRAINER!
Our Stone Maintenance
Everything needs maintenance, people need maintenance, and so do stones. In order for our jewelry to continue to shine, we need to know how to care for our stones.
Step#1: Do not bump into hard objects and do not wear with them.
Because our stones are second only to diamonds in hardness, our stones are prone to scratching other jewelry. Although our stones are hard, it is also brittle and can be shattered by violent impacts. For this reason, you should avoid bumping your stones and wearing them with other stones.
Step#2: Do not expose our stones to high temperatures and sunlight.
Exposure to high temperatures will cause the internal structural molecules of our stones to expand, causing cracks to appear on the surface of our stones, which in turn will cause stones to fracture, a principle of "thermal expansion and contraction" that is easy to understand. For this reason, you should keep it away from high-temperature heat sources.
Step #3: do not touch acid and alkaline chemicals.
Acid and alkaline chemicals are corrosive, and the surface of our stones is susceptible to these corrosive substances, which can reduce the brightness of your stone. At the same time, the internal structural molecules of our stones may be damaged, resulting in the loose and brittle texture of our stones. For this reason, you should avoid contacting our stones with items containing acidic or alkaline chemicals such as cosmetics.
Step #4: Regular Cleaning
All gemstones require regular cleaning, and so do our stones, which are oleophilic and susceptible to oil contamination. If you wear your stones every day, it is best to clean them every two weeks. A common cleaning method is to use a soft brush while rinsing with water. For better cleaning results, use a neutral conditioner for the stone.
