Gemstone Care Guide: Cleaning, Storage and Everyday Wear

Rokero Gems Editorial · Updated 4 October 2026

Practical gemstone care covering storage, gentle cleaning, heat, chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners.

There is no single cleaning method that is safe for every gemstone; hardness, toughness, inclusions, treatments and settings all matter.

Store pieces separately so harder gemstones do not scratch softer stones or metal surfaces.

Start gently and check the specific stone before using steam, ultrasonic cleaning, strong chemicals or heat.
