  • Wrap each piece of aquamarine jewelry in its own cloth. Ideally, the cloth should be pure cotton, as coarser cloth may scratch the gemstones.
  • Place each piece in its own compartment in your jewelry box, separate from other gemstones, as harder stones will scratch softer ones. Diamonds, corundum (rubies and sapphires), alexandrite and topaz are harder than aquamarine, while garnets are softer. Aquamarines and emeralds, both beryl gemstones, are of equal hardness and will scratch each other.
  • Store your jewelry in a cool place out of direct sunlight.
