How to clean solid gold jewelry properly

Solid gold jewelry is not only beautiful, but it's also durable - and the best part is that you don't have to worry about it fading. Because solid gold jewelry is made of solid gold, it will keep its shine forever. Here's how to easily clean your gold jewelry.

1. WHY SHOULD YOU CLEAN YOUR SOLID GOLD JEWELRY?

Although gold is very durable, it can look a little dull over time due to skin oils, dirt and other influences. But don't worry - solid gold doesn't tarnish or fade. So you can clean your jewelry without worrying about color loss and then admire it in all its glory again.

2. HOW DO YOU CLEAN SOLID GOLD JEWELRY (WITH GEMSTONES)?

If your jewelry contains real gemstones such as diamonds or sapphires, you should be especially careful when cleaning them. Gemstones can sometimes react sensitively to strong cleaning agents or hard brushes. However, with the right method, you can clean both the gold and the stones safely and effectively.

3. STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR SOLID GOLD JEWELRY

What you need:

• Mild dishwashing detergent
• Lukewarm water
• A soft toothbrush
• A soft cloth, preferably made of microfiber
• Optional: A small sieve if the jewelry contains gemstones

Here's how:

Preparation:
Fill a bowl with lukewarm water and add a few drops of mild detergent. Avoid aggressive cleaning products to avoid damaging the gold and gemstones.

Soaking:
Place the jewelry in the water bath for about 15 to 20 minutes. This will dissolve any dirt and grease that has accumulated on the jewelry.

Gentle cleaning:
Take a soft toothbrush and clean the jewelry carefully. Pay particular attention to the corners and gaps. With gemstones, you should brush especially carefully around the settings.

Rinse:
Rinse the jewelry thoroughly with lukewarm water to remove all soap residue. If there are gemstones, you can place the jewelry in a sieve to ensure that your piece of jewelry does not fall down the drain.

Dry:
Dry the jewelry with a soft cloth and allow it to air dry completely before wearing it again or storing it.

4. TIPS FOR CARING FOR YOUR SOLID GOLD JEWELRY

Proper storage:
Store your Solid Gold jewelry in a soft jewelry box or pouch to avoid scratches. (We have specially designed our boxes to keep your jewelry safe.)

Polish regularly:
