How To Clean Your Precious Morganite Earrings

Writer: kathy parkerkathy parker

There’s nothing like wearing your favorite morganite earrings. The rich bright color and the subtle aesthetic makes you excited for the day. Further, the growing popularity of morganite keeps all eyes on you. The excitement and glamor doubles when your pair features morganites that exhibit a soft baby pink color. Oh boy, those morganites are awe-inspiring and incredibly rare. No doubt they’re extremely valuable.


One thing that instantly turns off the whole vibe is the oil and dirt that keeps on accumulating on your jewelry piece over time. Those minute dust particles bring down the beauty of your gem. So, it’s always a good idea to give your bling a proper cleaning session from time to time. There are certain crucial aspects to cleaning morganite earrings that you should know of before taking the cleaning plunge. Let’s learn about them!


Get Your Jewelry Examined


Most people clean their jewelry pieces using ultrasonic or steam cleaners. You may also clean your earrings fashioned with morganite with mechanical cleaners. However, first you need to get your pair examined by a gemologist for potential weaknesses. Morganites with liquid inclusions or fractures should not be cleaned with mechanical cleaners. Such stones should be cleaned with warm, soapy water using a soft toothbrush.


Cleaning Morganite Earrings


Cleaning your earrings in a solution of warm water and mild cleaning detergent is the best way to get rid of the unwanted dirt and oil. Follow the below-given steps to clean your earrings: 



  1. Pour lukewarm water in a bowl and mix it with mild detergent.

  2. Submerge your earrings in the solution to moisten the dirt and residue.

  3. Use a toothbrush with soft or extra soft bristles to clean the gemstone.

  4. Once you’re done with the cleaning, rinse and dry your jewelry piece with a lint-free cloth.

  5. You might need to repeat the cleaning process if your jewelry piece is extremely dirty.


You can clean your other jewelry items using this cleaning method, whether it’s blue sapphire earrings studs or a tennis necklace. This is the safest way to remove the dirt from your bling.


Caring For Your Jewelry


Cleaning your jewelry item when it’s dirty is one thing and wearing it with proper care is another. Certain things that we do in our natural daily routine can damage our jewelry. Here are two times when we should take off our earrings: 



1.Swimming: The chlorine and other chemicals present in a swimming pool can corrode your earrings. What’s even worse is the risk of dislodging your earrings while swimming. Many people have lost their earrings while swimming or surfing. So, it’s better to remove your morganite earrings before you take a dip next time.


2. Make-Up:  Remove your earrings before applying cosmetics. Whether you’re moisturizing, spraying perfume or using hair perfume, the chemicals in these cosmetic products can drastically affect your earrings. So, take off your earrings before putting on your make-up. This includes removing your morganite or yellow sapphire stud earrings or any other bling.


Store Jewelry Separately


One of the biggest mistakes that people make with their jewelry pieces is storing them altogether. This is nothing but a sure-shot way of getting your jewelry scratched against each other. Store your morganite earrings in an individual jewelry case to keep their luster intact.



Final Words


Jewelry cleaning is something that should be best left to the professionals. However, if you’re ever-so inclined to clean your bling at home, first get it examined by a gemologist. So that you follow the right way of cleaning your morganite earrings at home.
