Natural stone jewelry has become one of the most in demand accessories these days. This is because these jewelries are very warm and vibrant. They can come in different forms, cuts, styles, and colors. These are usually the accessories of choice when ones to look casual yet chic. However, many designs are also perfect for formal wear making these jewelries one of the most versatile type of accessory.

Any jewelry would become worn over time especially when worn frequently by the owner. Another reason would be the lack of maintenance. The only way to keep jewelries sparkling is to give them the care they need. The basic way to care for jewelries is to clean them. This is done to get rid of oil, sweat, and dirt that could damage the surface. Cleaning, however, differs depending on the material used.

When cleaning jewelries that make use of natural stones, the owner has to be careful with using substances to clean it with. Never apply anything without making sure that it is safe to use. If you are in doubt, just use water. Any harsh substances like bleach and detergents are better not used since they might damage the material.

Be very careful with the way that you will treat your jewelries. Do not place them in any place that you like when you want to take them off already. Another big mistake some people do is to leave their jewelries in their pocket or bag. Jewelries should be placed back in their rightful place to avoid misplacing and damaging them.

To keep jewelries in good condition, always place it in a very suitable storage place. It can be placed in the box, in its case, any anywhere that could keep it cool and free from moisture. For jewelries made of stones, it is advisable to wrap them in a soft cloth or tissue to keep them from getting any scratch or scrape.

Stone jewelries do not have the durability present in precious metals like gold and silver. If you are not careful, you might end up with shattered pieces especially when dropped on hard floors. For this reason, one has to practice caution when holding these jewelries. It is highly discouraged to use this if you have wet or sweaty hands.

For jewelries that have other materials aside from stones, one must also pay close attention to these things. Many jewelries these days make use of animal materials like antler, bone, or ivory. Such materials can easily degrade when exposed to moisture and extreme heat or cold.

If the material used is plant based, one also needs to give the material a lot of attention. When dealing with a wooden material, just remember that wood can easily absorb any liquid and should always be kept dry. There are also natural oils you can use to maintain the wood.

Any person that is into fashion would not go wrong with natural stone jewelry. It is just one of those accessories that every woman needs to have in her closet. This accessory makes you feel more youthful, beautiful, and stylish.
