Caring for Your Gold Jewelry
Remember that gold is lasting and durable but can get scratched
or dented if treated roughly.
Gold's worst enemy is chlorine. Repeated exposure can weaken
gold's structure, eventually leading to breakage. So keep
your jewelry away from chlorinated cleaning products and out
of swimming pools and Jacuzzis.
Protect your gold jewelry by storing it safely or keeping
it wrapped in a soft cloth when not being worn.
Clean your gold jewelry with a cleaning solution of sudsy
lukewarm water, or bring it to your local jeweler and have
it steam-cleaned.
Dry and polish jewelry with a chamois or soft cloth after
cleaning and rinsing.
Keep gold jewelry free from dust, moisture, perspiration
and makeup.
Always inspect your gold jewelry for weakness or damage
and take it to a professional jeweler for immediate repair.
Your jeweler will be able to restore it for you.
