Following are some tips and advice on how to take care of yellow sapphire bracelets and other jewelry pieces made up of this gemstone.

  • Yellow sapphires are strong and durable when they are natural and untreated. That said, it is still imperative to keep a gemstone like a yellow sapphire clean to keep its shine and luster.
  • Because sapphires are quite hard, you can opt for an ultrasonic cleaning as an option. But before you do that, be sure to check the settings of your ring or bracelet to see if any parts may have become loose. If you do find a loose stone on your bracelet or ring, then get that fixed by a jeweler before you clean the jewelry piece.
  • Yellow sapphires are not easily susceptible to scratches, but it is best to store your yellow sapphire jewelry in a separate box or jewelry pouch, away from other gemstone pieces.
  • Whenever you choose to clean your yellow sapphire bracelet or ring at home, then make sure it is with a warm soapy solution and a soft-bristled brush.
  • Never use solvents like alcohol, abrasive detergents, acetone or paint thinner to clean your yellow sapphire jewelry.

Cleaning Yellow Sapphires

  • Your yellow sapphire bracelets should be cleaned with a soft cotton towel or a jewelry cleaning solution. Never wipe the sapphire with a rough cloth.
  • Water should be mixed well with a small amount of gentle detergent or liquid soap. However, avoid using detergents that include bleach and other chemicals. Instead, use a simple detergent liquid to clean your yellow sapphire bracelet.
  • Immerse your yellow sapphire bracelet in the cleaning solution for 15-20 minutes.
  • Take a soft-bristled brush and gently clean the bracelet. Make sure you get into the crevices, as that is where most of the gunk and grime collect over time.
