Aquamarine, a variety of the beryl family, is cherished for its serene blue hues and durability. Proper care ensures that its beauty and brilliance last a lifetime.

Daily Care
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Keep aquamarine away from household cleaning products, bleach, or harsh chemicals, which can damage the stone or its setting.
Remove Before Activities: Take off aquamarine jewelry before engaging in activities like swimming, exercising, or gardening to prevent scratches or damage.
Store Properly: Store your aquamarine pieces separately in a soft pouch or lined jewelry box to avoid scratches from harder gemstones, like diamonds.
Cleaning
Mild Soap and Water: Use warm water and a few drops of mild soap. Gently clean the stone with a soft brush or cloth.
Rinse Thoroughly: Ensure all soap residue is removed to prevent a dull appearance.
Dry Softly: Pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth to restore its shine.
Avoid:
Ultrasonic cleaners, as vibrations can damage inclusions or weaken the stone.
Steam cleaners, as they expose the gemstone to high heat, which may affect its clarity or durability.
Protection
Avoid Heat Exposure: Prolonged exposure to intense heat or direct sunlight can cause aquamarine's color to fade over time.
Be Mindful of Settings: Regularly check prongs or settings to ensure the stone is secure and doesn’t risk falling out.
Professional Maintenance
Annual Inspections: Take your aquamarine jewelry to a professional jeweler for inspection and maintenance at least once a year.
Polishing: A professional can polish aquamarine to remove minor scratches and enhance its brilliance.
