As the first entry of blog post, I would like to discuss how to protect natural turquoise jewelry


Natural turquoise is a kind of hydrated copper-aluminum phosphate mineral. It also has high permeability. It is easy to be changed in colour by chemicals, cosmetics, sweat, human body oil, etc., so it is easy to cause turquoise to change in color. When wearing, after wearing and storing needed to be careful. Remember three key points, then precious turquoise jewelry can maintain its natural color for a long time.

1. Turquoise is easily contaminated

Since turquoise is easily contaminated, it is necessary to avoid contact with cosmetics and sweat when wearing it, so it is not suitable for wearing when exercising. In addition, if you want to clean after wearing, just wipe it with water and avoid using any detergent. Finally, it is necessary to note that turquoise should not be exposed to chemicals and colored liquids when storing.

2. Turquoise needs moisturizing?

Turquoise does not really need to be moisturized, but the color of natural turquoise will be affected by the amount of water. Even so, don't deliberately soak the turquoise in the water, just avoid wearing it under the sun and avoid the high temperature environment.

3. Turquoise will be corroded

Turquoise will be corroded by corrosive materials, so the environment of chlorine, minerals and detergents in swimming pools, hot springs, bubble baths, etc. should be avoided.
