- Avoid contact of jewellery with household chemicals. The aggressive composition of such products leaves stains on the jewellery.
- Remember about the dangers of strong ultraviolet radiation and high temperatures. It spoils the appearance of the jewellery. Amethyst, rose quartz, chalcedony and smoky quartz - these and other gems under the influence of such factors become duller and paler.
