Casual Turquoise Beaded Necklaces

To properly care for turquoise bead jewelry, avoid harsh chemicals, moisture, and extreme temperatures. Clean with a soft, damp cloth and store separately from harder gemstones.

Detailed Care Instructions:
Avoid Harsh Chemicals:
• Turquoise is porous and can be damaged by chemicals found in cosmetics, perfumes, cleaning products, and even some soaps.
Clean Gently:
• Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dust and light debris. For more stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution (like a drop of dish soap in warm water), rinse thoroughly, and dry with a soft cloth.
Dry Thoroughly:
• Always dry turquoise jewelry completely after cleaning or exposure to moisture.
Store Carefully:
• Store turquoise jewelry separately from harder gemstones to prevent scratching. Consider using anti-tarnish strips for silver settings.
Protect from Heat and Light:
• Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, as these can cause the turquoise to dry out and crack.
Remove for Certain Activities:
• Take off turquoise jewelry before swimming, showering, or engaging in strenuous activities like gardening or cleaning.
Be Mindful of Cosmetics:
• Apply cosmetics and perfumes before putting on turquoise jewelry to minimize chemical exposure.
Don't Use Ultrasonic Cleaners:
• Avoid using ultrasonic cleaners or steam cleaners on turquoise, as these can damage the stone.
Regular Maintenance:
• Periodically check your turquoise jewelry for any signs of damage or wear and clean it as needed.
