Over time, dust, soap, lotion, etc., accumulative daily wear & tear factors affecting the brilliance of gold and stones. Gold can be scratched, worn and abraded and even change color.

Hits, pressure on the stone, etc., can move the stones and / or break a prong and even cause a stone's loss.

Some gemstones are more delicate such as emeralds, amethyst, tanzanite, opal, tourmaline, pearl, etc.
