Hi. I would love to have these bags but I need to know if they are safe for semiprecious stones, turquoise, etc.

You should never put turquoise in a air tight bag so sadly these will not work. I use them for my purely sterling silver jewelry, even though I am unsure about all semi-precious stones I know turquoise would be ruined.

I only have all my sterling silver jewelry in the bags I have no sterling silver that have semi precious stones in them so I am unable to answer that question . So far the bags works great for my sterling silver bracelet and earrings .

They only affect the silver and keep it from tarnishing. They do a great job at it too. Thanks for asking.

Yes they seem to be safe for all the jewelry. I do have to say that I am not that impressed with them. My silver still tarnish almost as fast as it did with out them. I would not buy them again. They were good for keeping earrings in pairs. Hope this helps you out.

Most of my silver jewelry is without stones..chains, bracelets and silver bands, however I have two turquoise rings and two black onyx rings set in silver and they have been fine stored in these bags. What a treat it has been to not have to use silver cleaner on these items all the time. I know one review stated they thought the bag to be flimsy and that her long nails had torn the bag. I have long nails and have not had that problem, just have to be careful with them.

I Love these bags and have used them with all kinds of stones. They keep silver jewelry looking good and when traveling I've used themffor gold too just to keep pieces separate. You could always show the listing of the product to a jeweler for his/her opinion on any stones that shouldn't be placed in these bags.

These bags are great; the only semiprecious stone that I have in there is amethyst stones set in earring and they are fine. I hope this helps you.

absolutely! of course, with normal and repetitive use, the bag just might get the signs of normal wear and tear, but I'm confident it'll hang tough. if not, the company has a SUPER return policy. the owner will reach out to you personally to make sure you're satisfied. where else can you get a guarantee like that!?! you've got nothing to lose.

Yes. They are a sturdy and large bag. Great for recyclables. Can be easily cleaned.

I would say yes. Some of the pieces are pretty big so if you broke them up you should be good. I thought there was a very good amount in the bag. We were pleased.

Absolutely. This is what my daughter ususally uses them for, and they hold up very well. There is a caveat though. If the outer surface of the bag is really rough, you will need to cover the area you're striking on, or you may end up marring the surface of the gloves. As my daughter's bag is fairly smooth, I've seen no marks on the gloves besides normal wear.

Certainly not and expert but i think they would work fine the bag that comes with them is real nice. hope this helps Gary

They're just giant, clear Ziploc bags. I wouldn't see any reason why they would pose a problem.

If these are made of the same material as those " silk" teabags, I heard they are not safe to use. , I will follow up if I can find a link. Won't kill you immediately of course but who needs food stuff soaked in more plastic?[ This answers feature should allow us to subscribe to questions.]

Bruno I use food grade buckets that I get from local bakeries (icing buckets). I always worried about chemicals leaching through the mylar. I don't have any proof that could or would happen, so, food grade buckets takes that out of the equation. These bags are great by the way :)

My bag has been very dependable. I am very hard on them. I have had no problems.

I think so. It says it is for semi precious stones. Not for coral, ivory,, amber, malachite, pearls, opals, jade or turquoise Those are all softer stones. I think aquamarine is a semi precious stone. Good luck.

All bags arrive sealed; I see no reason why the bag would not be safe for food. I use them from time to time for purse pills as well as for my jewelry. I have no problems re-opening or closing them either.

The bags do not seal, so I think it would be difficult. I also think they are a little small to hold that quantity.

No; use the "Delicate" brand, specifically for semi-precious stones, pearls, and costume jewelry.

Dear Stephanie: I checked to see how they would work and found that they should be okay since the Organza bags have a tight weave. Good luck. Pat

They are very sturdy. They should be able to hold quite a bit just don't overload the bag.

I'm sorry I don't have the expertise to answer that question, but any competent jeweler should be able to tell you. I know there are certain stones that are not recommended to be used in an ultrasonic cleaner, and especially costume jewelry where the stones are held in place with an adhesive do not fair well ( personal experience) but well mounted stones should not be a problem. When in doubt, a professional jeweler should be consulted.
