Ultimate Guide to Caring For Your Crystal Jewelry
Most jewelry care is common sense, however here are a few guidelines to help you enjoy your jewelry for years to come.
Here’s the list of all our best tips to help you keep your crystal jewelry shining for a long time, while keeping its healing benefits in place.
Do not shower, bathe, exercise or sleep with them on. If your jewelry gets wet, wipe with a soft, clean cloth and make sure that it dries throughly before putting into storage.
Use a metal-polishing cloth to remove any tarnish that occurs naturally over time. For the best preservation of shine, wipe down your jewelry each night before putting it away. Copper requires extra care to avoid tarnishing. Learn more about the healing benefits of copper and how to care for your copper jewelry in this blog post here.

Store out of direct sunlight. Some crystals, like Amethyst, will fade from long term exposure. Avoid dropping, scratching or otherwise damaging the surface of both the stone and the metal. Some gemstones are more fragile than others, so please treat all of them with love and respect.
How and When to Cleanse your Crystals:
All crystals purchased from Ivy + Light have been Sage-Cleansed and Reiki-Infused with a custom Affirmation. Repeat the Affirmation while wearing/holding to boost the benefits event more.

Over time you may discern your crystal losing some of its energy and effectiveness. This is due to environmental strain and other effects. Cleansing your crystals whenever you feel their energy lose clarity or strength, can help reprogram your crystal and prepare it for continued healing. After cleansing, you can reset the original Affirmation or any other of your choosing. Not sure how to cleanse your crystals, stones, and crystal jewelry?

Cleansing restores the crystal to its original vibrancy. The best cleansing method is smoke cleansing, as this method is safe for all crystals (water cleansing damages some crystals). Burning sage is the easiest and safest way to cleanse them. Want to create your own sage bundle to smoke cleanse your crystals?
