Jewelry Care
Thank you for your support and love for PETRALO's jewelry!
Before wearing PETRALO jewelry, please carefully read the product care and maintenance suggestions to extend the wearing time of the jewelrys.
Wear
- Avoid wearing your jewelry during activities that could expose it to harsh chemicals, rough surfaces, or excessive force.
- Remove jewelry before swimming, bathing, or using household cleaners, as chemicals can damage gemstones and weaken the settings.
- Apply cosmetics, lotions, and perfumes before putting on your jewelry to minimize exposure to chemicals.
Storage
- Store your jewelry in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature changes.
- Keep each piece in a separate compartment or pouch to prevent scratching and tangling.
- Avoid storing jewelry in a humid environment, as it can cause tarnishing or damage to certain gemstones.
Clean
- Rinse the jewelry thoroughly with warm water to remove any residue, and pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
- Avoid using ultrasonic cleaners for jewelry with fragile gemstones or organic materials like pearls or opals, as they can be damaged by the vibrations.
Here are specific clean methods for various gemstones
Gemstone jewels require special care as they are fragile and prone to breakage, cracking, or scratching. Protect them from sudden thermal and physical shock by storing them separately in a ring box or against soft fabric.
Diamonds, Sapphires, Rubies & Emeralds
With warm water & soap, use a soft bristled toothbrush to gently remove dirt. Remove it from the soapy water, rinse and dry with a jewelry polishing cloth.
Opals
Opals require extra care as they are a soft stone.
To maintain the opal's beauty, it is important to avoid prolonged exposure to water, as it may lead to cracking. While Australian opals possess relative stability, excessive water absorption combined with exposure to dry environments can cause internal and external moisture imbalances, resulting in potential cracks or breakage.
Use a jewelry cloth to gently polish your piece.
All other gemstones
Let your jewelry soak in warm soapy water and very gently clean with a soft bristled brush to avoid scratching the stone.
