With the right care, your Amethyst gemstone jewelry will last you for a lifetime.

Your Amethyst jewelry needs some extra care and attention:

• Clean your Amethyst with an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner OR with warm water, mild soap, and a soft bristle brush. Towel and air dry.

• Over time, Amethyst can pale if left out in the sun, so do not store your Amethyst in direct sunlight.

• Avoid really extreme heat! Jewelers deliberately heat treat Amethyst to change its color to yellow, red, brown, green, or clear (at which point it actually isn’t Amethyst anymore). On rare occasions people have accidentally heat treated their Amethyst jewelry!

All gemstone jewelry will last longer if you take a few simple steps to protect it:

• Protect your jewelry from sharp blows. What is a sharp blow? Well…
  
  If it would be painful for you
  it’ll hurt your jewelry, too!

NO NO NO NO

• Do not let your jewelry come into contact with harsh chemicals. So, please, take off your jewelry before doing household cleaning and do not wear your jewelry in the pool!

STAY AWAY! STAY AWAY!

• Avoid wearing or keeping your jewelry in places with extreme temperatures.

• Be especially careful about leaving your jewelry in unheated places during the winter (ex. your car) and uncooled places during the summer (ex. your car).

DON’T LEAVE YOUR IN YOUR PORCHE!

• You can also overheat jewelry by leaving it (or the box it’s in) in direct sunlight.

YOUR JEWELRY NEEDS SHADE!

• Store your jewelry in a dry, safe place, preferably away from sunlight. A jewelry box is a great place to keep your jewelry! If you really love jewelry, try a jewelry armoire.

With the right care, your Amethyst jewelry will last you a lifetime!
