If you want to keep your gemstone sets sparkling like new jewelry, it is important to maintain proper care of them. So the following of introductions are more important. And you will know how to care for gemstone sets.
When cleaning nonporous gemstone sets, washing gently with a weak solution of ammonia, rinsing with clean lukewarm water, and drying with a soft lint cloth is quite effective and safe. Just be sure to plug the sink so you don't wash your stones down the drain! On stones harder than quartz (Moh's hardness of 7), it's safe to do a little gentle scrubbing with a soft toothbrush, but if you're cleaning gemstone sets, be careful not to scrub highly polished metal surfaces, as the slight abrasive action of the brush will produce slightly hazy effects on the metal. A little soaking may be necessary to remove heavier deposits.
It is important that you should know what causes damage to your gemstone sets. Because it is easy to vary in hardness, toughness and reaction to heat, light and acids, these factors you should know very carefully.
Gemstone sets have many types; you should store different gems separately from each other. And each gem has a different level of hardness, and harder stones can easily scratch softer stones.
