Jewelry Care 101: How to Keep Your Gold Pieces Glowing

In a world that constantly demands your energy, sometimes it’s the smallest rituals that bring you back to yourself. One of the most underrated? Putting on jewelry.

Here’s why your gold pieces aren’t just accessories — they’re an act of emotional self-care.

1. Clean Gently — But Regularly

Gold jewelry attracts natural oils, lotions, and sweat that can dull its shine.

Do this:

• Mix a drop of mild dish soap with warm water

• Soak your piece for 5–10 minutes

• Gently scrub with a soft toothbrush

• Rinse and pat dry with a microfiber cloth

Do not use toothpaste, baking soda, or abrasive cloths. They can scratch the surface.

2. Avoid Chemicals at All Costs

Perfume, hairspray, chlorine, and even some skincare products can strip gold of its natural sheen.

Protect your pieces by:

• Putting jewelry on after applying lotions or fragrance

• Removing it before swimming or showering

• Keeping it out of hot tubs or saunas

 3. Store It Right

Gold doesn’t technically tarnish like silver — but it can lose luster when exposed to air and moisture over time.

Best storage tips:

• Keep in a lined jewelry box or a soft pouch

• Use anti-tarnish strips or silica packets

• Separate each piece to avoid tangling or scratching

 4. Wear It Often

Believe it or not, your skin’s natural oils actually help preserve gold. Wearing your pieces often — and caring for them properly — can keep them in beautiful condition.

 Bonus: Quick On-the-Go Shine

Rub gently with a clean microfiber cloth or glasses cloth to restore luster instantly — perfect before heading out the door or snapping a photo.

Final Word

Your gold jewelry is made to last — but only if you treat it with love. A little care goes a long way in keeping your glow edit radiant.
