Gemstone Love

As a gemstone e-ring wearer, I have a soft spot for those lovely gems, and I think more people should appreciate colored stones! They're a little work to take care of than normal rings, and I found a really helpful chart on macys.com that lays out care for them all in one place. It's finally nice to see all the info laid out, for all those precious (and semi precious) stones!

Everything here comes from macys.com.
Personally, my ring has a blue sapphire so for cleaning it says,
"Clean with warm soapy water and a soft brush or cloth. Avoid strong detergents, heat, pressure and ultrasonic. Avoid re-polishing or re-cutting of the stone. Color may fade in light or with heat."

Also, I know people love colored diamonds, and for cleaning those, the site says,
"Clean with warm soapy water and a soft brush or cloth. Do not expose to intense heat."

To see the rest of the gem chart, view it here.

And also from macys.com? Some real gemstone love ;-).

And because I'm a blue sapphire girl myself:
Love it!
