GEMSTONE TREATMENTS

Azra Mehdi Jewelry only works with natural gemstones. It is customary, however, to treat many natural gemstones to achieve enhanced color and durability. Gemstone treatments in any Azra Mehdi Jewelry are transparently disclosed in the product description section of each jewelry item.  

GEMSTONE CARE 

Gemstones are nature’s miracles and are generally quite sturdy. With a little care, all Azra Mehdi Jewelry will be as beautiful for many generations as they are today.  The following are some basic tips to care for your Azra Mehdi Jewelry.

Where possible, remove jewelry when engaging in vigorous activity that could damage it.  Although diamonds are very hard and thus very durable, other gemstones may not endure activity in the same manner.  Be careful not to expose your gemstones to the chemicals in household cleaning products, hair care products, fragrances and cosmetics. Wear your jewelry last when getting dressed and avoid spraying fragrance directly on your jewelry. 

Store your jewelry in the cloth-lined box provided by Azra Mehdi Jewelry ensuring that it is not touching or rubbing against other jewelry items to prevent it from scratching.

We recommend that you clean your jewelry periodically either with a non-acid-based cleaner or in a solution of mild dish soap and warm water. Soak the jewelry for about an hour and then using a soft toothbrush, scrub gently, especially behind the gemstone where dust and soap residue can collect.  Rinse well with warm water and pat dry with a soft cloth. Do not use home ultrasonic steam cleaners because they could damage certain types of gemstones and could even cause gemstones to fall out of their settings. Avoid strong detergents, heat and pressure - colored gemstones may fade in constant light or with heat.
