‘I never look back darling, it distracts me from the now’.
It was Edna from the Incredibles who said that and boy, was she right!
The fashion world is always changing and new hot-favourites like morganite jewellery are quickly gaining traction.
But does that mean they’re safe to don on a daily basis?
The short answer is yes!
Now for the long answer…
Morganites have a rating of 7.5 – 8 on Mohs scale of mineral hardness. While they aren’t as strong as diamonds, you can definitely wear them every day. But maintenance is of utmost importance.
Caring for Morganite
Paying attention is the key to making your jewellery look brand new for years to come. So here are a few things that you can do to ensure that your morganites remain safe, shiny, and crack-free.
1. Rule of Thumb
Make sure that you remove your pieces before participating in any strenuous physical activity, such as cleaning the house, exercising or even going for a swim. Remember that harsh chemicals, from various products, can negatively affect this gem and may cause surface fissures or cracks. Furthermore, we recommend keeping your morganite jewellery separately as it could get scratched by harder gemstones.
2. Keep Away From Bright Light and Extreme Temperature
These two factors can cause the colour of the morganite to fade over a period of time. Ensure that you store this gem in an area that’s reasonably dark, like your wardrobe.
3. In-Home Maintenance
Try to clean your morganite jewellery at least once a month to remove any dust and grime. Use mild soapy water and gently scrub the stone using a soft cloth. Pay close attention to the corners and backside of the piece as that’s where most of the dirt tends to accumulate. Place the morganite under running water to free it from any residual soap and pat gently with a dry and soft cloth.
4. Visit a Professional
Try to get your morganite jewellery inspected by a professional at least once a year. They can help polish the stone (if required) and will also be able to deal with any cracks or scratches that may have come on the surface.
How Do You Wear a Morganite?
Available in various sizes, this stone can be used for radiating both, a dramatic and elegant vibe. Here are a few ways that you can wear the morganite.
1. Go Bold
Statement pieces are a great way to spice-up your party attire. Pair a figure-hugging black dress with a morganite choker and vintage bracelet. Complete the look by wearing a pair of stilettos and a classy clutch.
2. Feminine Feels
Whether it’s a fun night out or a casual brunch, morganites are a great way to add a feminine touch to your outfit. You can team a lace or chiffon pastel dress with a pair of morganite earrings. We also recommend styling your hair in a bun as this will draw more attention to your jewels.
Morganites have made their mark as the gemstone of romance. Now that you know how to take care of them, go ahead and pick up your own.
