Even if you don’t wear your SitaraGem® jewellery 24 hours a day, you should still give thought to its care. A SitaraGem® should be treated with care to avoid damaging its beautiful appearance. Although it is rated at a 9.1 in hardness (A diamond being 10) you can still easily fracture or chip your SitaraGem® if mishandled. Even a Diamond being the hardest mineral substance known to man can fracture, chip or even break.
Don't wear your beautiful SitaraGem® when you are doing rough work. Your SitaraGem® is durable, but like any gemstone, can be chipped by a hard blow. Grocery cart handles are notorious for being hard on rings. Hitting a gemstone with a handle on the grocery cart or a car door has much the same impact as hitting the gemstone with a steel hammer. Remove your jewelry and place it in a safe location before gardening, playing sports, swimming, or performing difficult chores around your home is recomended.
Protect your SitaraGem® from harsh chemicals that will damage the gold and can discolor your gemstone. Don't let your jewelry come in contact with chlorine bleach which can be very damaging to the metal. Gold prongs can get pitted and actually dissolve to the point they can no longer hold the gemstone. Prolonged exposure to chlorine in hot tubs or swimming pools can have the same effect. Remove your rings or wear gloves to protect them when cleaning.
To minimize scratches and other damage, store your jewelry either in a cloth pouch or in a separate compartment in your jewelry box. Sitaragem’s are harder than most other gemstones. Because of this, there's a danger that they may scratch other stones and jewelry if stored all together.
Sometimes, small problems, like loose stones, worn or damaged prongs and faulty clasps, can be detected and repaired before they turn into bigger problems. Most gemstones are lost weeks and months after the damage could have been noticed, if someone had just taken a few minutes to examine the jewelry item closely. If you notice that the stone has become loose or any other damage to the setting, do not wear your jewelry until it has been taken care of. Contact us imediately at our Customer Support Center and submit a "Support Ticket" with category "Jewellery Services" if you notice any such problems.
Treating your SitaraGem® Jewellery with care ensures that you will enjoy its Beauty for many years.
