Natural amber jewelry is not just an accessory that makes your appearance brighter and more elegant, but also a genuine talisman that generously gives you its warmth, charges you with positive energy, and brings good mood. Amber jewelry, like any other special item, needs careful handling.
You can store your amber jewelry in a jewelry box, a special organizer, on holders, or stands. However, it is important to remember that amber changes color in the sun. White and honey amber, when exposed to oxygen and sunlight, acquire a rich golden-orange hue. Transparent lemon and tea stones become reddish. Therefore, if you want to preserve the original color of your amber jewelry as long as possible, try not to leave it under direct sunlight for long periods. However, to create a truly vintage piece with a rich hue that your descendants will be proud of, wear your jewelry more often in the summer.
With prolonged wear, the surface of amber gets worn and loses its initial shine—constant contact with skin and clothing deprives amber of its gloss. A jeweler can easily restore the shine of your jewelry by polishing the stone's surface with a special wax-containing paste. Despite the apparent simplicity of the operation, we still recommend seeking professional help—they will do it faster and better.
Amber is sensitive to temperature changes, so it is better not to wear it in a sauna or take it with you on a polar expedition. If you cannot part with your favorite amber ring but need to do household chores, use gloves. Protect amber from chemical agents just as you protect your skin. Do not apply cream to the stone—moisturizing and softening, unlike your hands, is unnecessary for it.
You can and should clean amber jewelry, but be delicate. When cleaning silver, gold, or cupronickel settings with special products, avoid contact with the stone—what is suitable for the metal may leave unsightly marks on amber. Amber jewelry likes bathing in warm running water without soap. After water procedures, dry the item with a soft cotton cloth. This simple action is sufficient to clean the stones from dirt.
Do not subject your amber jewelry to impacts, drop it on the floor, or knock it against walls. The stone may crack or break from such abuse. Love your amber jewelry, enjoy every moment spent together, and the warmest and sunniest stone will repay you in kind, making you radiant and absolutely irresistible.
