Care Instructions

Amber requires gentle care and meticulous attention to maintain its radiance and unique charm. To preserve the beauty and the exceptional allure of your amber jewellery, we recommend regular cleaning. Please remember that amber is not just a "stone"; it is also a messenger of history and emotions. Therefore, caring for it is an expression of respect for its long and captivating past.

Cleaning Amber

Cleaning amber is a delicate process, as this natural gemstone is soft and can easily be damaged. Here are a few steps to consider when cleaning amber.

• Gather Materials: You will need a soft cloth or microfiber cloth, mild soap or dishwashing liquid, and warm water.
• Remove Debris: Begin by removing any visible debris and dust from the amber by gently wiping it with a soft cloth.
• Prepare Cleaning Solution: In a small container, prepare a solution of mild soap or dishwashing liquid and warm water. A few drops of soap in a glass of water are sufficient. Avoid using hot water or harsh detergents.
• Gentle Cleaning: Dip the cloth into the soapy solution, ensuring it is only damp and not soaking wet. Gently wipe the amber to remove dirt and impurities.
• Rinse and Dry: After cleaning, rinse the amber under cool, running water to remove any soap residue. Then, gently pat it dry with a clean, dry cloth to remove excess moisture.
• Avoid Chemicals and Friction: Steer clear of using harsh chemicals, alcohol, or solvents, as they can damage the surface of the amber. Also, avoid abrasive materials or rough fabrics that may scratch the stone.
