Care Instructions
Each piece is handcrafted using high-quality precious metals and natural crystals. Proper care will help preserve its beauty and ensure it lasts for many years.
Because our jewellery includes gemstones and minerals ranging across the Mohs hardness scale (1–10), care requirements may vary. Please follow the guidelines below.

Understanding Gemstone Hardness (Mohs Scale)
The Mohs scale measures a mineral’s resistance to scratching:
Soft Stones (1–4)
Examples: Opal, Pearl, Malachite, Turquoise
Scratch easily
Require gentle handling
Store separately
Medium Hardness Stones (5–7)
Examples: Lapis Lazuli, Moonstone, Quartz, Amethyst
Durable but still require care
Avoid hard impacts
Hard Stones (8–10)
Examples: Topaz, Sapphire, Ruby, Diamond
Very durable
Still can chip or crack if struck
Harder stones can scratch softer stones if stored together.
