Ammolite is a soft stone, like opal and composed of aragonite, like pearls. Therefore, I recommend treating them as you would an opal or a pearl.
I do put ammolite in my ionic cleaner when first made. However, for on-going care, I prefer to clean the wire with a toothbrush and toothpaste, then dip the piece into "delicate jewelry cleaner" that states on the container that it is safe for opals and/or pearls.
Do not put ammolite in an ultrasonic cleaner.
Do not leave ammolite to soak in any type of liquid.
Do not use a commercial jewelry cleaner unless it states that it is suitable for pearls and/or opals. And even then, do not let your ammolite sit in the liquid. Just dip it in and take it back out.
Take off your ammolite before applying perfumes or hairsprays.
Avoid getting various household chemicals on your ammolite.
Triplet rings with firmly affixed caps are very durable, but to be on the safe side, I would take them off when doing dishes, swimming, and other things that keep them immersed in water for a long time. I would also remove all ammolite jewelry before swimming or using hot tubs & saunas.
And, as with all wire jewelry, when you are not wearing it, I would keep it in its box, where it can not be snagged or entangled by chains and other pieces of jewelry. This is especially true if there are loose wires in the top design.
