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.

They are as strong as they say they are and remarkably tough. As long as the total rock weight is within the stated limit, the bags will hold up. I would be concerned how you plan to tote the bags though as they are designed to be filled while on the ground and then picked up by a waste management truck.

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.

I have used these bags for over a year and have had only one break. I think I overloaded it. With routine use, I would think they would be fine.

Funny that you mention that! I use them for rosseta stone myself! The answer is yes!

Hello Catherine,I used these bags to hold pea gravel-type rocks (and sand) which is relatively round. I've never used them for sharp edged rocks. If the your sharp-edged rocks were in a static environment (not moving on the inside, and no moving external sharp edge rocks touching the bags on the outside) AND not to heavy in the bag I think the bags would hold and not wear prematurely. However, your intention of placing 50 pounds of sharp-edged rocks in the bags is NOT recommended. If you place 50 pounds of sharp edge rocks on the inside, that by itself would undoubtedly cut the poly material and force a discharge of rocks to come through--possibly injuring yourself or someone else.I hope this helps....GhillieMan Hello Catherine,I used these bags to hold pea gravel-type rocks (and sand) which is relatively round.

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

it is definitely better to store your jewelry and bracelets in these bags; however, I would recommend purchasing the anti-tarnish strips that Amazon sells and include it in the bag along with your jewelry. It is better to keep your jewelry in an airtight container which these bags will provide. I found these bags on the small side. I have a small wrist but I do have large bracelets (Lengthwise) that do not fit in these bags.

The ones I received are very tough. They are more like a "freezer" strength bag rather than the flimsy sandwich or regular type ziploc bag. I use them for delicate supplements when traveling but have used them for many other items including jewelry.

Yes. The bag is porous and stays damp. Quite a bit of water flows through the bottom of the bag. I would not use them indoors.

i have used it for silver and it works very well , i don't see how it can hurt gold. It should prevent 10 or 14 k from tarnish. For precious stones, I would not use this bag.

I am thinking it would....they seem to be fairly durable bags. Good luck!! :)

You could definitely pull that off. The quality is second to none. So, even packed tight, the bag will eventually mold to accommodate without showing any signs of failure.

No. Never use a "stone" in one of these, as a rule of thumb. It'll make the pearl disintegrate.

I have used these bags for all sorts of things, including kale and leafy greens. My experience is that things like kale and leafy greens don't do as well, as they need something something more airtight to stay fresh. They can begin to wilt after a day or so. Things like apples, citrus, potatoes, onions, etc are great in these bags.

The stones are packaged with an oil, I suppose to protect them, but once you receive them, I would suggest cleaning and disinfecting them thoroughly. Once this is done you may want to apply a thin coat of a light base oil to the stones before storing them.

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.]
