Take care of your small drop of golden sunshine, because it’s
a precious item. Gold jewelry should be cherished and handled
carefully in order for generations to enjoy its beautiful
luster. Caring for gold jewelry is quite simple, actually,
but important for it to retain its quality and gorgeous shine.
Always keep gold jewelry in a box lined with satin or velvet.
Pouches are a bad idea if you’re caring for gold jewelry,
because the gold pieces will rub together and wear away over
time. If you have more than one gold jewelry item in a box,
it’s a good idea to wrap the smaller pieces in tissue
paper to guard against scratches.
Along with proper storage, cleaning plays a crucial part
in caring for gold jewelry. You can use a soft-bristled brush
for the detailed designs, and very soft cleaning cloths other
times. Jewelers will tell you that when caring for gold jewelry,
you should use warm water and detergent-free soap, or specific
gold cleaning products. Once in a while, you may want to drop
your gold jewelry into boiling water and a pinch of baking
soda. Leave it in for only half a minute, and wipe the piece
immediately after pulling it form the water. Perform this
process on one piece of gold jewelry at a time.
There are other things to remember while caring for gold
jewelry. Remember to remove all gold jewelry before entering
swimming pools! Chlorine erodes this soft metal. It’s
also a risk because diamonds and other stones can easily fall
out of their settings. Don’t let household cleaners
or other harsh chemicals come into contact with your gold;
they reduce the luster of the yellow metal.
It really isn’t too hard a task, and caring for gold
jewelry is definitely beneficial! Turn your favorite gold
jewelry pieces into family heirlooms, and pass them down to
your future generations!
