About the Stones We Use
At Gems by Hoda, we carefully select natural semi-precious stones that are unique in color, texture, and energy. Because natural materials, no two stones are exactly alike — and they require thoughtful care to preserve their beauty.
Stone Sensitivity
Unlike diamonds or synthetic stones, many natural gemstones are porous, soft, or heat-sensitive. Please avoid the following to keep your stones in excellent condition:
-
Prolonged Water Exposure: May weaken settings or affect porous stones like turquoise or lapis.
-
Direct Sunlight: Some stones can fade with continuous sun exposure, such as amethyst or rose quartz.
-
Perfumes & Chemicals: Oils, sprays, and cleaning agents can damage surfaces or alter colors.
-
Physical Impact: Dropping or knocking pieces may chip softer stones like opal or moonstone.
