How to maintain emeralds
Emeralds need to be washed frequently.
When cleaning emeralds daily, it is best to choose warm water at the same room temperature and a soft brush for treatment. Soak emeralds in warm water for 15 minutes, then rub them with a soft brush and rinse them with warm water.
1, neutral water cleaning
But besides warm water, all of us can choose to use neutral hand sanitizer or soapy water, but it is not recommended that you use weakly alkaline or weakly acidic jewelry cleaner for cleaning. Warm water and neutral water are the best cleaning solvents. I also suggest that you don't wash emeralds many times in a short time. It's better to wash emeralds three or four times a year.
2, daily wear to avoid bumping.
When we wear emeralds every day, we must avoid rubbing against other metal jewelry, in order to avoid scratches on the surface of gemstones. If you are engaged in manual labor and sports, the best way is to pick the jade, because excessive exercise will also lead to cracks in the gem. Most importantly, emeralds must be treated at high temperature. Once exposed to high temperature, the inclusions in the gem are easy to expand, leading to fragmentation.
Maintenance and cleaning of jadeite jade
Emerald has a very important feature that it is brittle, with developed cracks and easy to crack. Almost 90% of natural emeralds have tiny cracks. If it collides with a hard object, it will break easily. Therefore, the maintenance of jade jewelry should avoid collision with hard objects. Wear jade jewelry as little as possible when doing housework or work, preferably on the left hand with little activity. When engaged in heavy physical labor or strenuous exercise, you should take off your jewelry to avoid collision. Emerald should also be carefully cleaned and maintained. If emerald jewelry is dirty, it can be wiped with a soft dry cloth. Never put emerald jewelry in the ultrasonic cleaning machine to avoid unnecessary losses. Scrub gems directly under warm water or soapy water. Emerald should not stay in the place corroded by oil fume for a long time, nor contact with acid and alkali substances, so as not to destroy the surface luster of the gem. It is best to take off the jewelry before taking a long bath, so as to avoid the overheated temperature from cracking the emerald or expanding the original internal contents. Emerald has a flaky structure and is afraid of high temperature. It will fade in case of fire and burst easily at high temperature. Therefore, it is not suitable for wearing in places where there is fire danger at high temperature. Don't rub against other gems or metals to avoid leaving scratches on the surface of gems. Emerald rings should be packaged separately and maintained regularly.
How to maintain jadeite daily?
1, the first rule is always to avoid rubbing with other precious stones or metals to avoid leaving traces on the surface, but also to avoid bumping, if there is no fillet, it may cause damage to the edges and corners.
Remember to take off your jewelry before doing housework and taking a bath. Oil fume will corrode the surface of emerald and destroy the surface luster of jewelry.
3. Avoid high temperature. If it is jade soaked in oil, it may appear "sweating" at high temperature. High temperature will also cause cracks in the gem or expand the original internal contents.
4. Wash with water when cleaning, and don't use chemicals or ultrasonic cleaning, which will cause great damage to the inside of the gem. If you need cleaning, you can send it to a professional jewelry store for cleaning.
