Caring for Solid Gold
Clean gently
Warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft toothbrush are enough for most pieces. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a soft cloth.
Avoid harsh chemicals
Remove jewelry before using bleach-based cleaners, strong sprays, or abrasive products. Chlorine can also affect gold over time.
Store thoughtfully
Gold can scratch gold. Avoid tossing pieces into one drawer where they rub against each other.
Storage (This Matters More Than People Think)
Diamonds can scratch other jewelry, and gold can scratch gold. Storage doesn’t need to be fancy — it just needs to prevent friction.
- Store pieces separately when possible
- Keep chains clasped to reduce tangling
- Use a structured case when traveling
Caring for Diamond Jewelry
Keep diamonds clean for sparkle
Lotions, sunscreen, and everyday oils can dull brilliance. Gentle soap-and-water cleaning restores shine.
Check settings and closures
If you wear diamond studs, hoops, tennis bracelets, or tennis necklaces often, occasional checks are smart. If something feels loose or snags fabric, stop wearing it and have it inspected.
Travel tip
Use a structured jewelry case so pieces don’t grind against each other during travel.
When to Take Jewelry Off
You don’t need to baby fine jewelry, but you also don’t need to stress-test it.
Remove pieces for heavy lifting, contact sports, high-impact workouts, or anything that risks snagging. Everyday wear is fine — unnecessary impact is not.
