Cleaning Your Amethyst Jewelry

Cleaning your amethyst jewelery is a very valuable activity if you want to make sure it stays in a pristine condition

Amethysts are usually set in rings, broaches, pendants and sometimes necklaces and they get subject to dust, grime and the results of oils and perfumes, chemicals, hairsprays and body sweat

One needs to be careful of using chemicals to clean gemstones. Make sure you brush gently as, although the gemstone may be quite hard, the precious metal it is set in may be soft and the claws that hold the gemstone may be straightforwardly snapped off. 24 karat gold is above all soft so fantastic care should be taken with that metal.


Pat dry with a soft cloth. If your jewelery is pure gold an ammonia solution could be used. Brushed well to get rid of grime, rinsed really well and completely dried. Using the above tips for cleaning your amethyst jewelery will help to keep them sparkling clean.
