There are many jewelry owners out there won’t don’t realize how important it is to clean and properly maintain their jewelry.   Without proper upkeep, precious stones and jewelry items can look worn or dull and become very difficult to clean if left untreated.

For example, diamonds can attract carbon atoms from lotions and skin oils that will stick and harden to the stone, making it difficult to remove the buildup.   Other jewelry items like tennis bracelets are especially prone to oil and residue buildup because they are difficult to take off.  Many women don’t bother to clean these items causing their jewelry to look older than it really is.

There are some simple solutions you can use to maintain your jewelry items, keeping them shining bright and beautiful for years to come on this blog posting.

When I was a young gemologist, I fell in love….with Padparadscha.  Over my career I’ve had the privledge of seeing and working with many wonderful specimens of this amazing sapphire, and over the years my love has only grown.

The recent sale of a very fine natural non-heated Padparadscha inspired me to write an explanation of the origins of and definition of the color of Padparadscha sapphires.  Numerous pictures of fine Padparadscha sapphires illustrate this article.
