Caring for Your Gold Jewelry...
by Julie Lee of Julie's Jewelry Design, LLC.
Remember that gold is lasting and durable but can get scratched or dented
if treated roughly.
Gold's worst enemy is chlorine. Repeated exposure can weaken gold's
structure, eventually leading to breakage. So keep your jewelry away from
chlorinated cleaning products and out of swimming pools and Jacuzzis.
Protect your gold jewelry by storing it safely or keeping it wrapped in a
soft cloth when not being worn.
Clean your gold jewelry with a cleaning solution of sudsy lukewarm water,
or bring it to your local jeweler and have it steam-cleaned.
Dry and polish jewelry with a chamois or soft cloth after cleaning and
rinsing.
Keep gold jewelry free from dust, moisture, perspiration and makeup.
Always inspect your gold jewelry for weakness or damage and bring it to a
professional jeweler for immediate repair. Your jeweler will be able to
restore it for you.
