How to Cleanse and Care for Your Healing Gemstone Jewelry

Simple, gentle practices to keep both your gemstones and your silver settings looking — and feeling — their best.

By Prettiest Gems Team

Many practitioners believe gemstones absorb energy over time, and recommend cleansing them periodically to keep their properties clear. A few gentle methods:

Moonlight: Leave your piece on a windowsill overnight during a full moon.
Running water: Hold the piece under cool running water for a minute while setting your intention (avoid this for porous stones like Turquoise).
Sound: Some use a singing bowl or bell to "reset" a stone's energy with vibration.

For the silver setting itself, store your jewelry in a dry pouch away from direct sunlight and humidity, and gently polish with a soft cloth to keep it bright. Avoid perfumes, lotions, and chlorinated water, which can dull sterling silver over time.

With a little care, your Prettiest Gems piece will stay beautiful — inside and out — for years to come.
