Keeping the shine for years to come

Gold jewelry is a lifetime investment, but like anything precious, it needs proper care to keep its shine and beauty. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your jewelry looks new for years.

Daily cleaning

The simplest way to care for gold jewelry is a gentle clean at the end of each day. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the piece and remove traces of lotion, sweat and dirt.

For a deeper clean, soak the piece in warm water with a little mild dish soap for 15–20 minutes. Then use a soft toothbrush to gently clean corners and crevices. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.

Proper storage

Store each piece separately to prevent scratches. Soft fabric pouches or individual compartments in a jewelry box are the ideal solution. Avoid storing different pieces together – different metals can scratch one another.

What to avoid

Remove gold jewelry before going into a pool or the sea – chlorine and salt can damage gold. Avoid contact with perfume, sunscreen and chemical cleaning products. Take off your jewelry before sports or physical work.

Professional cleaning

We recommend bringing your gold jewelry to a jeweler for professional cleaning once a year. A professional clean includes polishing, checking clasps and solder joints, and making sure stones are securely set.
