How to clean and care for your solid gold jewellery for maintaining the shine and beauty.

Solid gold jewellery is a beautiful and valuable investment that can last a lifetime with proper care and maintenance. Here are some tips and tricks to help you clean and care for your solid gold jewellery:

  1. Avoid wearing your jewellery while doing household chores or any strenuous activities. This can cause scratches or damage to your pieces.

  2. Store your solid gold jewellery in a separate jewellery box or pouch to prevent scratching and tangling with other pieces. You can also store them in a dry, cool, and dark place to prevent oxidation and discoloration.

  3. Clean your solid gold jewellery regularly using a soft-bristled toothbrush and mild soap or jewellery cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals, such as bleach or ammonia, as they can damage your pieces. Gently brush your jewellery and rinse it with warm water, then pat dry with a soft cloth.

  4. If your solid gold jewellery has stubborn dirt or stains, you can soak it in warm water with a mild detergent for a few minutes. Then, gently brush it and rinse it thoroughly with warm water. Dry it with a soft cloth and avoid using a hairdryer or any heat source, as this can damage your pieces.

  5. Be gentle when handling your solid gold jewellery, especially with delicate pieces like chains or earrings. Avoid pulling or tugging them, as this can cause damage or breakage.

  6. Take your solid gold jewellery to a professional jeweller for cleaning and maintenance at least once a year. They can inspect your pieces for any damage or wear and tear, and provide any necessary repairs or adjustments.

  7. Lastly, avoid exposing your solid gold jewellery to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, or moisture. This can cause discolouration or damage to your pieces.

Proper care and maintenance are essential for keeping your solid gold jewellery looking its best. By following these tips and tricks, you can maintain the shine and beauty of your pieces, and avoid any damage or wear and tear.
