Product Care Guide
At OrientGem, our Chinese handmade jewelry is a testament to craftsmanship and quality. To maintain the beauty and integrity of your cherished pieces, adhere to these detailed care instructions:
1. Gemstones:
- General Care: Gently wipe gemstones with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove oils and dirt. Avoid exposing gemstone-set jewelry to harsh chemicals, extreme temperatures, or sudden changes in temperature.

Specific Gemstone Care:
- Jade: Known for its durability, store jade separately to prevent scratches. Clean with a mild soap solution and a soft brush, rinse thoroughly, and pat dry. Periodically nourish jade with mineral oil.
- Other Gemstones: Refer to specific care guidelines for each gemstone type to maintain their brilliance and quality.
2. Silver:
- Cleaning Silver: Use a silver polishing cloth or a gentle silver cleaner to remove tarnish. Be gentle while polishing to avoid scratching the surface. Rinse and pat dry with a soft cloth.
- Storage: Store sterling silver jewelry in an airtight container or a tarnish-resistant pouch to minimize tarnishing. Keep away from moisture and direct sunlight.
3. Gold:
- Cleaning Gold: Clean gold jewelry with a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a soft cloth to maintain its shine. Avoid using harsh chemicals that might damage the metal.
- Storage: Store gold jewelry separately to prevent scratching and tangling.
4. Sandalwood:
- Handling Sandalwood: Handle sandalwood jewelry delicately to avoid damage. Keep away from water or moisture as it can affect the wood's integrity. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning if needed.
- Storage: Store sandalwood jewelry in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its natural beauty.
5. Conditions to Avoid:
- Bathing and Swimming: Remove jewelry before bathing, swimming, or entering hot tubs as prolonged exposure to water and chemicals can damage certain materials.
