5 Quick Tips to Care for and Clean your Ammolite Jewellery

Keep your ammolite jewellery looking its best with a little care and attention. Follow these five easy tips to keep your jewellery sparkling and your gemstone popping with colour.

 1. Take a look at your jewellery

When you wear your jewellery every day, it is easy to not notice when it needs a bit of a clean. Take the time to admire your ammolite jewellery and see whether it needs sprucing up.

 2. Avoid ultrasonic or steam cleaners

The high temperatures and agitation used in ultrasonic and steam cleaning can damage organic gemstones such as ammolite. The best way to clean your ammolite gemstone is to just polish gently with a non-abrasive cloth. This helps to remove body oils and grime to keep your gemstone gleaming.

3. Remove any tarnish

Sterling silver, along with other metals, can tarnish over time. Tarnishing is a natural process that occurs when moisture and oxygen come into contact with some metals. It is easy to remove tarnish using jewellery cleaner and a polishing cloth. However, be sure to not get any of the jewellery cleaner on the gemstone itself. A helpful hint is to use a Q-Tip to remove tarnish from any hard to clean areas.  

4. Store your ammolite jewellery carefully

It is important to store your jewellery carefully to prevent damage and reduce the need for cleaning. We like to keep our ammolite jewellery in a soft pouch or jewellery box. This helps prevent scratches to the gemstone or setting.

5. Keep your ammolite gemstone dry and away from extreme temperatures and chemicals

Ammolite doesn’t really like over-exposure to water or chemicals. So, it’s best not to wear your ammolite jewellery in the shower, or on a trip to the spa! To keep your ammolite looking in top condition, also be wary of direct heat or freezing temperatures.

We hope these tips help you keep your beautiful ammolite jewellery looking great. Remember that the most important thing is to enjoy wearing your jewellery so don’t be afraid to show it off!
