Proper care of gemstones is essential to maintain their beauty and longevity. Regular cleaning with a soft cloth can remove dirt and oils. For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and warm water, avoiding harsh chemicals that can damage the stone. Storing gemstones safely is also important. Keep them in a soft pouch or a separate compartment in a jewelry box to prevent scratches. Avoid exposing gemstones to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight, as these conditions can affect their color and clarity over time.
