Caring for Gold Filled Jewelry

 

Gold filled jewelry is not just durable; it's a timeless beauty that adds elegance to any outfit. To preserve its radiant glow and ensure it continues to be a cherished part of your collection, we've compiled some essential care tips just for you.

 

  • Gentle Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe away dirt and oils after each wear. Avoid using abrasive materials which can scratch the gold surface.
  • Avoid Chemicals: Keep your gold filled jewelry away from chemicals, including chlorine, perfumes, and cleaning agents, as they can tarnish or damage the gold layer.
  • Storage: Store your gold filled pieces separately in a jewelry box or a soft pouch to prevent scratching.
  • Take Off When Necessary: Remove your gold filled jewelry before showering, swimming, or engaging in activities that can expose it to water or sweat.
  • Polishing: If your jewelry loses its luster, use a non-abrasive jewelry polishing cloth designed for gold filled items.

 

Caring for Sterling Silver Jewelry

 

Sterling silver possesses a unique and captivating luster, making it a favorite for jewelry lovers. However, it's natural for sterling silver to oxidize over time, affecting its brilliant sheen. Don't worry, though - we've got you covered with expert advice on how to care for your sterling silver treasures, ensuring they stay as luminous and eye-catching as the day you first wore them.

 

  • Regular Cleaning: After wearing, gently clean your silver jewelry with a soft cloth to remove any oils or residues.
  • Proper Storage: Store sterling silver in a cool, dry place, preferably in a tarnish-preventive bag or wrapped in a soft piece of felt or cloth.
  • Avoid Moisture and Chemicals: Keep your silver away from water, humidity, and household chemicals. Always remove silver jewelry before swimming or bathing.
  • Polish Regularly: Use a silver polishing cloth or a silver cleaner to prevent tarnish. Be gentle to avoid scratching.
  • Wear Often: Interestingly, wearing your silver jewelry regularly can help prevent tarnishing, as the oils from your skin clean the metal.

 

By following these care instructions, your gold filled and sterling silver jewelry will remain beautiful and lustrous for years to come.
