  2. Avoiding Chemicals: Sapphires are durable gemstones, but they can still be damaged by harsh chemicals found in cleaning products, cosmetics, and perfumes. Abrasive cleaners,  can damage the gemstone and its setting. Remove your sapphire jewellery before using any chemicals to avoid potential damage.
  3. Storage: When you're not wearing your sapphire jewellery, store it in a soft pouch or jewellery box to prevent scratching or other damage. Avoid storing sapphires with other gemstones or jewellery pieces that may scratch them.

Be mindful when wearing your sapphire jewellery and be mindful of wearing your sapphires during activities where they may be subjected to hard impacts, as even though sapphires are durable gemstones, they can still chip or crack under extreme pressure.
