Care of antiques jewelries

To take care of the antiques jewelry which has gemstones, I want to tell you some important points.

First of all check the gemstone or diamond is secure in its claw in which it is mounting. Hold the item in one hand and use a fingernail to just touch the diamond. If it's loose you'll see it rock or move. This will need to be repaired by your jewelers, who will tight the claws. An old soft toothbrush and warm soapy water is ideal to remove the grease, dust, grit and dead skin that fills the gaps and indentations around the stone anchors of a ring or other item of jewelers.
This works equally well for almost all types of gemstone, including, ruby, emerald and sapphire.

A gentle brush, even an artists brush is infinitely preferable to using a cloth from which threads can be snagged and pulled. If a thread gets caught in a claw, it can bend or weaken the grip of the claw and stones can be lost weeks or months later.
