As mentioned above, tanzanite is a sensitive gemstone and can’t stand high stress or pressure. In order to maintain its shine and beauty you must take good care of it.

Here are some essential tips to help you take care of your tanzanite jewelry.

• Tanzanite jewelry is not a jewelry piece that you wear daily. It is not strong enough to endure the wear and tear of housework, and should be worn on special occasions only.

• If you have to wear the jewelry inside the house then make sure you take it off while engaging in any sort of work that involves the usage of water.

• As tanzanite is not a very hard stone it can scratch quite easily when it gets into contact with other hard objects. So, it is better to keep this beautiful jewelry for special occasions.

• Don’t expose your jewelry to extreme heat or cold as the tanzanite can crack.

• Don’t wear it while swimming, when going to the beach, or while working out. The water can reduce the shine and luster of the tanzanite.

• Tanzanite may loosen up from the metal setting, so it is recommended that you get your tanzanite jewelry checked in a local jewelry store in every 6 months to 1 year.

• At last, you need to store your tanzanite jewelry in a separate jewelry box to avoid any scratches.
