How to care for gold fashion jewelry

Does your modern gold jewelry impress like it did when you first got it? If the answer is no, it’s likely that your gold jewelry hasn’t been cleaned in a while, or maybe you never cleaned it at all. Don’t worry, this precious metal is quite easy to clean and doesn’t take much time. However, if there is a lot of dirt that won’t come off, you may need to take it to a professional to clean it.

Gold may come and go when it comes to the latest fashion trends, but gold jewelry is actually a wise investment, as the fashion world always ends up falling back in love with shades of gold. Even after years of silver jewelry dominance, gold fashion jewelry always finds its way back to the top of the charts.

To keep that shine and shine on your gold jewelry, keep up with maintenance and cleaning, such as:

1. To clean your jewelry properly, mix a little soap and water and wipe the surface with a soft cloth. The soap should be mild and not contain phosphates of any kind. If you don’t clean your gold jewelry, you risk becoming that person who always wears his favorite rings but then begs his friends not to look too closely at them. Otherwise they would see the dirt!
2. Once you’ve cleaned your gold jewelry, place it on the soft cloth and allow it to dry completely before placing it back in the jewelry box.
3. Purchase a gold jewelry polishing cloth, which should be available at your local jewelry store. Follow the instructions on the packaging to remove the dullness and restore the shine of the world’s favorite metal.
4. Do not store gold jewelry with other types of jewelry. Gold is actually quite a malleable metal and can be easily scratched by other harder metals. Or buy a separate small space for your gold jewelry or hang it in your jewelry display without letting it touch the other pieces.
5. Remove gold rings when applying hand lotion or washing hands. Do not allow your jewelry to come into contact with chemicals or acids, as these can permanently damage or stain the surface of the metal.

These cleaning tips for fashion gold jewelry also apply to jewelry that is gold plated or that has at least 1/20 gold in the metal. However, if it is gold plated, be especially careful not to scratch the surface.
