Cleaning of gold jewellery

Cleaning your gold jewelry is an important step in preserving its beauty and luster over time. The secret lies in using gentle methods that are kind to both the gold and any stones. Below we share some expert tips to keep your gold treasures sparkling clean.

Easy cleaning at home 

An easy home remedy can do wonders to restore the shine without damaging your precious jewelry. By regularly caring for your jewelery in this way, you extend its shelf life and ensure that it remains a brilliant part of your jewelery collection. 

1. Mild soap solution : Start by mixing a mild soap solution with warm water. Place your gold jewelry in the solution and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes. This method is gentle and effective for everyday dirt and grease. 
2. Soft brushing : Use a soft toothbrush to gently brush the jewelry. Focus on hard-to-reach areas where dirt usually collects. Remember to brush gently to avoid scratches and in case any stone is loose. 
3. Rinse and dry : Rinse your jewelry thoroughly under running water after cleaning. Make sure all soap solution is rinsed away. Then wipe them with a soft, lint-free cloth. 

Preventive maintenance 

• Avoid contact with chemicals : Be careful about exposing your gold jewelry to chemicals found in cleaning products and cosmetics. These can cause discoloration and damage. 
• Storage : Store your gold jewelry separately in a jewelry box or in soft bags. This keeps the jewelery protected which reduces the risk of scratches. 

Professional cleaning 

For optimal maintenance, we recommend visiting a professional jeweler at least every two years. They can not only deep clean your jewelry, but also inspect it for any damage and repair the jewelry if necessary.

What happens if I don't clean my gold jewellery?
