Care & Cleaning
Care
Your 18K gold jewelry requires minimal attention but cleaning it every couple of months will help it remain shiny and free of scratches. To maintain its beauty and value, avoid exposure to lotions and perfumes when possible, and follow a thoughtful cleaning and storage routine.
Cleaning
- Fill a bowl with 2 cups of warm water and add several drops of mild dish detergent.
- Soak your 18K gold jewelry in the solution for about 15 minutes.
- Gently scrub the jewelry with a soft cotton swab to remove any dirt, then return it to the soapy water solution for a quick rinse.
- Prepare a second bowl with warm, clean water and rinse the jewelry to remove any soap residue.
- Dry the jewelry with a soft, lint-free cloth, gently rubbing to enhance the shine.
Warning
- Never use chlorine or ammonia to clean 18K gold, as these chemicals are too harsh and can damage the jewelry.
- Avoid using toothpaste or baking soda, as they are abrasive and can scratch the surface of your gold jewelry.
