Pearl and Red Coral Gemstones

Maintenance of Pearl and Red Coral Gemstones

Coming on to the next group of gemstones also known as the Opaque group, the kind of care you need to take in their case is very much different from the first group of gemstones. Pearl and Red Coral are not hard gemstones and they erode away with the action of Water, Detergents, Sweat and certain other things. So the first thing you need to do is to keep them away from water and especially detergents as the action of detergents can decrease the lifespan of these gemstones considerably. So if you’re wearing any of these two gemstones, make sure that you remove them before you wash your hands or do something that involves the action of fluids and detergents. Formation of greasy deposits is not a big issue in this case as the outermost surfaces of these gemstones constantly and continuously keep on vanishing and so the deposits also go away with them. But if you still find some considerable deposit on these gemstones, the best way to remove them would be by using a wet piece of cloth or a wet brush and if the deposits are greasy then use as little detergent or soap as you can and get rid of the deposits. But not much is actually required to do in case of these gemstones as they keep on eroding and new and fresh skin continuously keeps on appearing. So what you need to do in case of these gemstones is to keep them away from the action of excessive fluids and detergents. Doing this would prolong their lifespan and you would need to replace them less often.

These are a few simple but very effective methods that you should use for proper maintenance of the gemstones that you are wearing. Doing the things mentioned above would ensure that your gemstones keep on working to their optimum and have the longest possible lifespan.
