Lapis Lazuli is a living stone, a gift from the mountains. Learn how to protect its brilliance for generations to come.
A piece from Aura & Kilat is more than a purchase; it is a legacy. Because Lapis Lazuli is a porous stone (5.5 on the Mohs scale), it requires a gentle hand and mindful care.
- Cleaning with Tenderness: Never use ultrasonic cleaners or harsh chemicals. Simply use a soft, damp cloth with lukewarm water. Dry it immediately with a lint-free microfiber cloth to prevent moisture from dulling its natural polish.
- The Golden Rule: 18k gold is durable but can scratch. Store your pieces in their original walnut box or a silk-lined pouch, away from other jewelry that might cause friction.
- Chemical-Free Beauty: Always apply perfumes, hairsprays, and lotions before putting on your jewelry. Chemicals are the silent enemy of the Lapis’s deep blue luster.
