Tips for Maintaining Crystal Jewelry
Reasons for Crystal Discoloration
Some crystals contain elements like copper and iron, which can undergo oxidation when exposed to sunlight for extended periods, affecting the crystal’s color and causing it to fade. Crystals with elements like copper and iron can be red or purple. Additionally, crystals exposed to sunlight can create a focal point, potentially causing nearby flammable objects such as paper to ignite, posing a fire hazard.
How to Maintain Crystal Jewelry Daily
To reduce wear and tear, avoid activities that may damage the crystal. Although crystals are hard, they can still be fragile and may break if subjected to external force. When swimming, it’s best to remove the jewelry to prevent it from coming into contact with chlorine or other chemicals that can damage the metal parts.
Perfume, cosmetics, and sweat can cause jewelry to tarnish or corrode. When engaging in physical activities, applying cosmetics, or using moisturizers, remove your jewelry to avoid damage.
Be cautious when doing housework. Avoid contact with oils, as this can make the jewelry lose its luster. String necklaces and bracelets can also snap from exposure to oils.
Store different pieces separately to avoid scratching each other, which can damage their surface.
