Taking Care of Crystal Jewelry: Storing, Handling, and Protecting

Crystals are a fascinating subject to delve into. Instead of just being shiny stones, they are shiny stones with a purpose. If you are here, chances are you've recently gotten your hands on some crystals or crystal jewelry that you wish to learn how to protect. At To Eons, we strive to provide quality crystal jewelry while also sharing knowledge on how to care for your precious pieces. Beyond cleansing and charging, one of the most important aspects of crystal care is learning how to store, handle, and protect them properly.

Basic Crystal Care Tips

Caring for crystals or crystal jewelry means protecting them from scratches, impacts, and harsh chemicals and storing them in a way that preserves their beauty. Whether or not you believe in their energies, here are a few crystal care tips to keep your crystals safe and radiant.

Gentle Handling

Crystals can be delicate or brittle, especially elongated or pointed stones. Avoid dropping as chips or cracks may form in the crystal.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals

Household cleaners, chlorine, and acidic substances can damage some crystals, causing them to fade or create dullness. Use mild soap and water if needed, and dry thoroughly after.

Clean Surfaces

When displaying crystals, ensure that the surface is smooth to avoid scratches or moisture.

Temperature Stability

Sudden changes in temperature can stress crystals. Keep them away from direct heat sources, rapid temperature shifts, or air conditioning vents. For example, direct sunlight.

Porous and Soft Stones

Β Stones like selenite, halite, gypsum, and clay-like crystals are porous and soft. It's recommended to keep them away from water and oil. Dust a soft brush or microfiber to keep it clean.

Storing your Crystal Jewelry

Now that you know the dos and don’ts of crystal care, it’s equally important to learn how to store your crystals or crystal jewelry properly. Correct storage not only preserves their beauty but also helps maintain their natural energy and balance. It is recommended to keep the crystals in designated boxes that are grouped by type or properties. Storing crystals by their type or energetic properties can help maintain balance in their energy, allowing them to remain clear and purposeful.

Crystals are sometimes displayed with intention. Consider placing natural materials such as wood or stones around the crystals to enhance their energy.

Happy Crystals, Happy Life

Just like how we shine when we feel loved, crystals deserve the same. Now you know the basics of storing crystals and taking care of them, now it's time to put them to action. Whether you wear crystal jewelry or keep raw crystals at home, giving them proper care ensures that the crystals remain vibrant, balanced, and ready to support you through your journey.
