Gemmologist's advice

Caring for and recharging your aquamarine

Véronique,
gemmologist at MATY for 32 years, reveals her secrets...

To preserve the brilliance and sparkle of your diamonds, you need to keep them away from greasy and/or corrosive products (perfume, cleaning products...). To clean your diamond, a little soapy water and a small brush will do the trick!

Diamonds have such a powerful energy source that they require no special recharging. To purify it, you can leave it to soak in salt or demineralized water.
