May Eco-Blog Emerald Mythology/Caring for Emeralds


Eco925 Eco_friendly_jewelleryHello Eco-Followers,
 

Welcome to this months eco-blog on Emerald folklaw. It has been commonly said that Emerald is the birthstone of hope and has been adorned by many different cultures around the world. Most famously they were worn by Celoparta who beleived they would protect her from snake bites. There are even a number of references to Emeralds being ground up and used as a cure for poor sight. More modern law suggests that Emeralds can secure love, attracts wealth and insight profitable dreaming. The origin of the word emerald is said to be a Sanskrit word meaning "green".

We will also share a little advice on emeralds, as they need to be cared for. Due to their construct, as well as a number of modern gemstone treatments, we advise not to put your Emerald jewellery in any kind of ultrasonic cleaning bath. Further still, we advise against using any gold cleaning agents because the chemicals can unstablise dyes, fracture fillings and coatings (the most common emerald treatments). Instead we recommend cleaning your Emerald with good old fashion soapy

water (well fairy liquid and luke-warm water). Using a soft bristle toothbrush to clean behind the setting. This could be an old worn toothbrush or a babies toothbrush.

If you need any further jewellery advice or you would like to see us feature any perticular stone, please get in touch us via our contact page here:
