BE CAREFUL WITH LIGHT AND HEAT
Just as the sun’s harmful rays can damage our skin, light and heat can affect a colored gemstone’s durability and color.
Over time, and in excess, they can also fade or damage some gemstones, such as amethyst, kunzite, topaz and shell cameos.
Pearls and other delicate materials, such as ivory, will bleach under extreme exposure to light.
Other gems, especially amber, can darken over time when exposed to too much light.
