How to Care for Gold Jewellery
Gold jewellery is a timeless investment, but to keep it looking radiant for years, it needs proper care. Over time, dust, body oils, perfumes, and everyday wear can dull its shine. With gentle cleaning, safe storage, and a few smart habits, you can preserve both the beauty and value of your gold pieces. Whether it’s an heirloom bangle, a wedding necklace, or a pair of earrings, following these care tips will help your jewellery stay as dazzling as the day you bought it.
1) Gentle Cleaning at Home
- Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water.
- Soak the jewellery for 15–20 minutes.
- Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently clean crevices.
- Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry with a soft cloth.
2) Avoid Harsh Chemicals
- Keep gold away from bleach, chlorine, perfumes, and harsh cleaning agents.
- Remove jewellery before swimming or using cleaning products.
3) Polish for Shine
- Use a jewellery polishing cloth to bring back the shine.
- Avoid abrasive materials that can scratch the surface.
4) Proper Storage
- Store gold jewellery in a soft pouch or fabric-lined jewellery box.
- Keep pieces separate to prevent scratches.
5) Professional Servicing
- Take your gold jewellery to a professional jeweller once or twice a year for deep cleaning and checking for loose stones or damage.
