How to take care of the White Sapphire?
White sapphire is a magnificent looking stone, however, it can lose its glow if you do not clean it regularly. Below are the steps you should consider while taking care of your white sapphire:
- Smoothly move the gemstone in the soapy water and let it sit for 10-20 minutes based on how dirty your stone is.
- If required, use a soft ruffled toothbrush to clean the hard to reach spots such as around the setting.
- Rinse with warm water and rub dry with a soft cotton cloth. If the stone still looks dirty, you can repeat the method replacing a splash of ammonia or vodka for the dish soap.
- Do not use any kind of chemical to your gemstone. Some metals respond badly to even the mildest of chemicals. Gold and platinum are good in soap and water. Just take care to wipe the settings completely to evade extricating the stone and prevent water spots, which will influence how light shines through your sapphire.
- Store your sapphire pieces separate from the rest of your jewelry as they can easily scratch other stones and metals or be scratched by any diamonds in your collection.
