How to Care for Gold Jewellery

Safe everyday storage, gentle cleaning and ways to reduce scratches, chemical exposure and gemstone damage.

Daily storage

Store pieces separately in soft pouches. Remove jewellery before exercise, bathing, swimming or using cleaning chemicals.

Gentle cleaning

Warm water and a very mild cleanser can suit simple pieces. Avoid soaking porous stones, pearls, adhesive settings or macramé; follow piece-specific advice.

Periodic checks

Inspect clasps, stone settings and connections, and seek professional help when anything becomes loose.
