How Should You Care For Your Sapphires?

Although gemstones are among the most durable of substances, they do need some care.

Keep them clean. Rings in particular tend to collect dust and soap behind the stone, particularly if you wear them all of the time.

Even the hardest gemstones can be vulnerable to breakage if it has inclusions that weaken the structure. Sapphires and Rubies are the toughest gems but even they can chip if hit sharply.

Sapphires, as well as Diamonds and Rubies, can be cleaned with a touch of ammonia in water to remove all films and add extra sparkle.
