Hello

Gold jewelry is beautiful and popular. Gold comes in many styles and colors, but all gold jewelry will benefit from some tender, loving care!


* Don't wear your gold jewelry while bathing or cleaning. Soap won't harm gold, but it will leave a filmy residue that will coat karat gold jewelry, causing it to appear less lustrous and dingy. If you prevent the film from forming, it will be easier to keep your jewelry beautiful and will reduce cleaning time and effort.

* Avoid chlorine! Don't wear gold jewelry in the pool or hot tub or when using chlorine bleach or cleaners. Chlorine reacts with gold, particularly at high temperatures. Exposure to chlorine can permanently damage and discolor your gold jewelry.

* Use a chamois cloth to clean gold jewelry. A chamois cloth is a gentle, safe material for returning the luster to your jewelry.

* Avoid storing or otherwise exposing gold jewelry to hard, abrasive materials. Gold is a very soft metal, easily scratched even by rubbing against other jewelry.

martha,

is your ring white gold? if yes, you can bring it to your jeweler to have them rhodium plate it again. This will give your ring the shiny white gold finish.

You can also remove buildup on your gold jewelry by using a jewelry cleaner.  There are several kinds:  ultrasonic, ionic, and steam.  Steam is good for general cleaning.  Although, if the jewelry is highly soiled, you may need to run it through the cleaner more than once.

Thanks for the info I'm sure it'll come in handy Smiley I usually just clean my gold jewelry with a soft bristled brush and some mild detergent and it works great for me!

Ionic cleaners are fast and gentle and will bring a nice shine to gold jewelry.  They are also good for cleaning soft stones that may be in a setting.

Part of the allure of gold is that it does not tarnish, rust, corrode. However, use of abrasive chemical cleaners will strip away its natural luster and shine. Thus, using a soft wet cloth is your best bet. If you need to remove dirt and other unwanted substances in hard-to-reach places, you can also use a soft-bristled toothbrush with warm water and a gentle detergent. Also, avoid storing your gold near diamonds or other hard gemstones, as they may scratch gold surfaces I think this is best care tips for all gold jewelry.
