Activity which might subject a gemstone to sharp blows, such as gardening, working with hand tools, or
playing sports, may also damage a gemstone.

Put jewelry on after you apply hair spray or cosmetics. Chemicals present in either may cause damage,
especially to cultured pearls and Swarovski Crystals. Wipe your jewelry with a soft chamois or flannel cloth
after each wearing to remove your skin's oils and salts.

A very few colored gemstones, such as kunzite, may fade when worn in sunlight or in a tanning booth.
