Since Gemstone Jewelry is a little more expensive and delicate than fake jewelry, you need to make sure that you have the right kind of gemstone and know how to look after it.
When you are thinking of buying gemstone jewelry, there are a few pointers in what to look for. Firstly, you should choose your favorite gemstone. One good way of finding a favorite gemstone it to go and research gemstones online. Go to a website where they have a large encycopedia of gemstones. Often they will tell you the historical background of each stone and how to care for it.Obviously, the most popular gemstones are diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and emeralds. These are quite expensive, and hard to get. If you look a little further you might find a very attractive stone for half the price and above all, it is more unique! If you are in a store, always ask the seller if they know where the stone was mined, because this will affect the price.
Not every gemstone is to be cleaned the same way, so if you are thinking of a gemstone, always make sure that you know how to care for it. Gemstones like Malachite are relativly soft and can be damaged quite easily. You cannot emmerse them in water because you will wash off their protective coating. You have to use a damo cloth and a soft brush to remove any dirt or oil. Ruby, on the other hand, can be fully emmersed in water and then wipe with a dry towel aver removing the dirt.
Your gemstone jewelry can last for ever if it is treated well. Always store your jewelry in a dry place(nearly anywhere but the bathroom) and protect it from heat(sitting in the car for days on end) and heavy blows.
