Clean with warm water, mild soap and a soft brush, working the brush through the filigree where lotion collects, then dry before storing. No silver polishing cloths or abrasive compounds, which wear the rhodium thin; avoid chlorine, ultrasonic cleaners and household chemicals for the same reason. Keep amethyst out of prolonged direct sun, which can fade the color over years.
