Gold-Filled Jewelry
Gold-filled pieces offer lasting elegance, but they still appreciate a gentle touch.
Cleanse with Intention: Soak briefly in warm water with a drop of mild soap. Use a soft cloth or toothbrush to gently lift away buildup.
Dry with Care: Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a lint-free cloth. Ensure the piece is completely dry before storing.
Avoid Harsh Exposure: Keep away from chlorine, perfumes, and household cleaners. These can dull the finish over time.
Store Thoughtfully: Place in a soft pouch or jewelry box to prevent scratches and preserve shine.
Semi-Precious Gemstones
Each stone carries its own quiet story. Handle with reverence to maintain its natural beauty.
Spot Clean Only: Use a damp cloth with mild soap to gently wipe the surface. Avoid soaking—especially for porous stones like turquoise, opal, or lapis.
No Ultrasonics or Steam: These methods may fracture or discolor delicate stones.
Protect from Heat & Light: Prolonged exposure can fade or weaken certain gems.
Store Separately: Gemstones can scratch each other. Keep each piece in its own pouch or lined box.
How to Care for Gold-Plated Jewelry
1. Keep it dry.
Moisture is the enemy of gold plating. Remove your jewelry before showering, swimming, or working out.
2. Avoid chemicals.
Perfume, lotion, hairspray, and even some skincare products can dull the finish. Apply those first, then put on your jewelry.
3. Clean gently.
Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to wipe down your piece after wearing. For deeper cleaning, dip the cloth in warm water with a drop of mild soap—no scrubbing, soaking, or harsh cleaners.
4. Store with care.
Keep your gold-plated pieces in a soft pouch or separate compartment to prevent scratches and rubbing against other metals.
5. Remove for tasks.
Take off your jewelry when cooking, cleaning, or gardening to avoid exposure to acids, detergents, and abrasives.
