First of all, timely removal is maintenance:

Wear sapphire jewelry correctly and take it off at the same time, especially when washing hands, because some soaps contain different degrees of alkaline substances, which may cause damage to fragile gems over time, and the soap in soaps is also easy to get stuck in the gaps of rings, thus greatly affecting the luster and brightness of gems. Moreover, take a bath, do housework, swim, etc. It is also easy to cause gemstone collision and injury.

Precautions for sapphire maintenance:

Pay attention to substances containing acid and alkali: some substances we come into contact with in our daily life or food contain different concentrations of acid or alkali, and these different concentrations of acid and alkali chemicals may damage gems. The use of cosmetics in daily life should try to avoid being polluted by jewelry. Usually, make-up and perfume should be sprayed before wearing jewelry to avoid high-concentration cosmetics or perfume directly contacting the surface of the gem. If you need to replenish perfume, you should also avoid spraying perfume directly on the surface of the gem.

Don't clean gems with toothpaste: People often say that cleaning gems with a toothbrush can make them as bright as new. Because toothpaste contains fine abrasive particles with high hardness, these particles are very fine but the hardness is as high as six or seven degrees (almost like crystal). Therefore, toothpaste cleaning gemstones will damage the surface of sapphire with hardness lower than that of crystal.

Second, the maintenance taboo:

Taboo to be contaminated with oil: Sapphire will come into contact with various substances when it is worn close to the body, causing some damage to its surface. In particular, contact with oil stains will affect the overall luster and brightness of gems, which will destroy the structure of gems in the long run. Therefore, when entering or leaving the kitchen, you should take off your jewelry and put it away or cover the number with your sleeves.

Avoid chemicals: When we take a bath, wash our hair or wear perfume, we will use various chemicals, such as shower gel, shampoo cream, facial cleanser and so on. Once these products are in contact for a long time, they will corrode the surface structure of sapphire. So it is best to avoid contact with these chemicals.

Avoid collision with hard objects: sapphire has low hardness, so collision with other hard objects should be avoided. If sapphire rubs or collides with something with higher hardness, it will be smashed or scratched, which will greatly affect its aesthetics and value. So try not to bring sapphire for housework or wear it with other hard videos.

Summary: The above are the maintenance skills and precautions when wearing sapphire. Sapphire is a rare gem. I hope that all fans will take good care of it.
