Gemstone jewellery has always held a place of quiet prestige in Indian luxury—an elegance that transcends seasons and trends. Whether it is an emerald ring with velvety green depth, a ruby ring radiating warmth, or a sapphire ring with its poised blue brilliance, each gemstone carries a history shaped by the earth over centuries. Yet, for all their majesty, these stones require mindful care to preserve their natural luminosity.
At Matsya, every 22k gold gemstone ring—from the Emerald Horizon Ring to the Crimson Aura Ruby Ring and the Luminous Sapphire Ring—is crafted to last generations. But preserving their brilliance demands the right rituals. Gemstones respond to light, temperature, moisture, and handling, making thoughtful care not just a routine but a gesture of respect toward fine jewellery.
Start with something simple: regular gentle cleaning. While gemstone rings are durable, everyday exposure to skin oils, cosmetics, and dust creates a fine layer of dullness. A mild soap solution and a soft brush can restore the surface glow without disturbing the stone’s integrity. Harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, or abrasive scrubs can cause micro-abrasions or loosen the setting—especially for softer stones like emeralds.
Storage matters just as much. Gemstones vary in hardness; a ruby may scratch a sapphire, a sapphire may scratch an emerald. Storing each piece separately—especially luxury pieces crafted in 22k gold—helps maintain their pristine surfaces. Matsya recommends soft-lined compartments or individual pouches for every gemstone ring so each piece “sleeps” without friction.
Temperature and moisture are often underestimated threats. Emeralds, for instance, contain natural fissures and benefit from stable, low-humidity environments. Sapphire rings and ruby rings tolerate more but still thrive best when kept away from direct sunlight, high heat, or humid spaces like bathrooms.
Lastly, the most overlooked aspect of gemstone care is mindful wearing. A sapphire ring may accompany you effortlessly through daily routines, but gemstones are not meant for strenuous activities, cleaning, or situations involving harsh chemicals. Removing them before such tasks preserves both the stone and the 22k gold setting.
Maintaining gemstone jewellery is, ultimately, a devotion to beauty. With intentional care, the brilliance of Matsya’s gemstone rings, emeralds, rubies, sapphires, and more, remains timeless, ready to be passed down as heirlooms that never lose their shine.
