Everyday caution

Remove gemstone jewelry when you’re going to be doing work or exercise, or when you’re doing dishes and housework. Avoid exposing your amethyst to household cleaners; particularly bleach which can seriously damage the stone.

Storing amethyst jewelry

Amethyst is susceptible to heat and sunlight, both of which will lighten the color and may even make it a muddy brown. Because of this, you should avoid leaving amethyst in direct sunlight for any length of time, and any jewelry repairs that use heat should be done with the stone removed from the setting. Keep amethyst jewelry wrapped in its own cloth to avoid damage.

Cleaning amethyst jewelry

You can clean your amethyst jewelry with a soft bristle brush and warm water, but avoid harsh chemicals which may damage the stone. Ultrasonic cleaners should not be used to clean amethyst jewelry as they may damage the gem.
