Stone-accented pieces add colour and perceived value, but natural materials react differently to water, heat and chemicals than metal does. Handling them correctly in the warehouse protects your margin.
Why Stone Needs Gentler Care
Porous stones such as turquoise and howlite can absorb liquids and discolour. Softer stones scratch more easily than metal and should never be cleaned with abrasive powder. Prolonged water exposure can weaken the adhesive used in some bead and channel settings.

Safe Cleaning Routine
Use a barely damp soft cloth and dry immediately with a second cloth. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners entirely for stone-set and pearl pieces. Clean stone areas last, after the metal has been wiped, to avoid dragging residue across the surface.
