          Gemstones, are considered as an important element in jewelry. In ancient times Egyptian craftsmen used such semi-precious stones like Turquoise, Lapis Lazuli, Carnelian, Agate and Coral (For more information about semi-precious gemstones, please visit www.power-beads.com). As the skill of gem cutting developed, harder materials like precious stones were introduced into jewelry. The value of gemstones is usually reflected in the availability & beauty. The rarer and more beautiful that stone the higher the value. There are many gemstones on the market today that have undergone some form of treatment to enhance or change its color. To keep your fine jewelry looking at its best in between the visits to the jeweler, clean your jewelry once every two weeks or more. Diamonds, for example, have a way of attracting oils from your skin, soap and lotions like a magnet, and with that they collect dust and lint. The noble metals used in jewelry become covered with a film imparting a dull appearance. Always apply your cologne, perfume or hair spray before you put your jewelry on. Follow the rule: 'Last Thing On - First Thing Off'.

   Cleaning Solution

           Mix approximately 50 ml of gentle dish washing liquid for cleaning (for transparent crystalline gems) or 50 ml of household ammonia, Mr. Clean, Windex or Fantastic (for diamonds, rubies, sapphires) and 200 ml of water. Stir well. Heat the solution slightly in the microwave or use an old pot for a stove top method to heat the solution, and then remove it from the heat source. Pour a small amount into your bowl and place your jewelry (silver or gold) into solution and let them sit for about five minutes. Brush the articles gently. Use another bowl of warm water to rinse away the cleaning solution. Rinse well, as any cleaning residue may irritate your skin.  Use a soft lint free cloth to pat it dry.
