Followings are tips and advices for you to handle your gold:
- Store gold jewelry away from other metal jewelry to avoid scratches. Using small pouches or separate compartments in a jewelry box works well.
- Keep your gold jewelry away from household cleaners such as bleach as they can cause damage.
- Remove your gold jewelry before bathing as the soap will dull the gold surface.
- Remove your gold jewelry before swimming as the chlorine will discolor the gold.
- Gold is a soft metal so handle with care to avoid scratching and bending.
- Cleaning your gold jewelry after each use with a soft polishing cloth will keep it shinier longer.
- Never clean gold with tissue. It contains small wood fibers that will scratch it.
- Never use toothbrush, baking soda, or other abrasives on gold. They too will scratch it.
- Store gold wrapped in anti-tarnish tissue, a clean plastic bag, or in a special setting for your particular piece.
