HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR LONDON BLUE TOPAZ JEWELLERY

The Blue Topaz is a relatively hard gemstone, and is therefore very durable in your jewellery. The Blue Topaz is generally stable to light, but avoid storing your Blue Topaz jewellery in direct sunlight for long periods as this can cause the stone's color to fade or become yellowish, reddish or
brownish.

When cleaning your London Blue Topaz jewellery, avoid ultrasound and steam, but instead use lukewarm water, a mild soap and a soft cloth or brush to gently remove dirt and cool.

Remember that you can always have your jewellery professionally cleaned at Carré.
