Whether you wear 6K, 9K, 18K, or a mix of solid gold pieces, knowing how to look after them is the secret to keeping their glow for life. Solid gold is made to last, but even the best needs a little care to stay at its best.
Everyday habits that protect your gold
Gold is strong, but it still appreciates care. These simple habits help it stay as beautiful as the day you bought it.
1. Take it off when you need to
Your jewellery is made to be lived in, but remove it before swimming, cleaning, or applying lotions and perfume.
Chemicals like chlorine or acids can make the surface appear dull or pale over time.
2. You forgot to take it off
We get it. You ran straight to Pilates. The beach looked too good to miss after a long day. You got to the pool and realised your rings were still on. Don’t stress.
Rinsing under warm water and patting dry with a soft cloth removes moisture, sweat, and oils that build up during the day.
3. Store it the right way
Keep each piece in its own pouch or box to avoid scratches.
Choose a dry, airtight space instead of a humid bathroom shelf.
How to clean your gold at home
Cleaning solid gold is simple and safe. You don’t need special chemicals or fancy kits.
Step 1
Fill a small bowl with warm water and a few drops of mild dishwashing liquid.
Step 2
Soak your jewellery for five to ten minutes to loosen any residue.
Step 3
Use a soft toothbrush to gently clean around settings or detailed areas.
Step 4
Rinse thoroughly with clean water and pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
This removes light tarnish or oxidation and restores the natural shine without harming the gold.
