Ways to Protect Your Tanzanite Jewelry
It was not the
discoverer, but the discovery that reached the world. The semi-nomadic tribe of Tanzania found a strange yet alluring little piece of rock, which shone like
lavender.
A naive moment led
to establishment of a young and vibrant gemstone in the world of gemstones.
Tanzanite, as named after its place of origin was found, the day after
lightening struck some tawny little crystals of rock on ground. Surprisingly,
because of the intense heat or high temperature of the lightening beam, the
color of rock was transformed into an awe-inspiring shade of violet to deep
blue, resembling a blue-sapphire or amethyst.
Tanzanite, an
orchid-hued gemstone, has a unique charm of itself.
Angara’s fine
collection of this lilac gem comprises of tanzanite rings, earrings, and
pendants. Moreover, it is teamed mostly with diamonds and white sapphires to
bring out the deep mystifying shade, making it a style statement. Most preferred
is bezel-set to provide strength to the bond of gem with ring.
Tanzanite jewelry is
a versatile masterpiece, which accords with all dressing styles. Be it a simple
yet elegant solitaire round tanzanite contoured shank ring, an extravagant
princess tanzanite and diamond border earring or an impeccably mesmerizing
tanzanite curved journey pendant. However, these delicate little darlings need
to be pampered with appropriate care and precautions, to ensure their pristine
appearance as long as possible.
Some points below
should be taken care of :
Avoid chipping or
breaking - This mauve-hued stone is a relatively softer one than diamond or
sapphire. Its fair toughness makes it a less durable one. However, this can be
taken care of. For instance, business women during strenuous work should take
care of their tanzanite pendants. Being careless, could result into an
irreparable damage to the violet to deep blue gemstone.
Avoid fading - Tanzanite’s tend to lose their actual color, and fade, if exposed
to sunlight for a longer duration of time. Try not to accidentally cook your
lustrous purple jewelry as you get sun baked.
Beware of Thermal Shock - This is a term signifying damage caused by rapid
temperature change in the ambience of jewelry. Tanzanite tends to lose moisture
and might lose their play-of-color. Try keeping your tanzanite rock in an evenly
cooler temperature.
Keep chemicals away - There are certain chemicals like chlorine which can damage
the luster of stones like pearl and other organics. Therefore, always keep in
mind to remove your precious jewelry before taking a dip in the pool or using
perfumes, cosmetics, lotions, hair spray and cleaning products.
Handling - Remember holding your tanzanite ring by the shank when wearing it on
or taking it off. This saves from undesirable scratches and smudges but puts
pressure on the setting.
Cleaning plays a
major role in the durability of colored gemstone jewelry. Make a point to cover
up the sink hole before washing, in case of loose gemstones. Some cleaning
methods for your violaceous gemstone are:
Mildly warm water,
with detergent-free soap, and a soft toothbrush Pulsed-water dental cleaning
appliance Lint-free gem cloth.
If above mentioned
points are kept in mind then it’s possible that your valuable and prized
tanzanite jewelry could outlive you and remain favorite amongst forth coming
generations of yours.
