Care Instructions
Our gold-filled jewelry is a high-quality, durable alternative to solid gold. It consists of a thick layer of real gold bonded to a base of brass or stainless steel through a process of heat and pressure. Unlike gold plating, which has a thin layer that can wear off over time, gold-filled jewelry has a much more substantial gold layer, making it resistant to tarnishing, fading, or flaking with proper care. It offers the look and feel of solid gold at a more affordable price, making it popular for long-lasting, elegant pieces.
Caring for gold-filled jewelry properly can help maintain its beauty and prolong its lifespan. Here are some key tips to keep your gold-filled pieces looking their best:
1. Avoid Harsh Chemicals
- Keep your gold-filled jewelry away from harsh chemicals such as chlorine, bleach, and household cleaning agents, as these can cause the gold layer to degrade over time.
- Remove jewelry before swimming in pools or hot tubs and avoid wearing it while using strong cleaning products.
2. Clean Regularly
- Clean your gold-filled jewelry gently with mild soap and warm water. You can use a soft cloth or a soft-bristled toothbrush to clean intricate details.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing tools, as these can scratch the gold surface.
- After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with water and pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
3. Store Properly
- Store your gold-filled jewelry in a soft pouch, individual compartments, or a jewelry box to prevent it from rubbing against other items, which could cause scratches.
4. Limit Exposure to Sweat and Lotions
- Remove your jewelry before applying lotions, perfumes, and other cosmetics. These substances can dull the surface of gold-filled jewelry over time.
5. Polish Occasionally
- Use a soft polishing cloth designed for gold or jewelry to gently buff your gold-filled pieces and restore their shine.
- Avoid using harsh polishing compounds that are too abrasive.
With proper care, gold-filled jewelry can last for many years, retaining its vibrant appearance and resistance to tarnishing.
