While 18ct solid gold is a durable metal, improper care can lead to tarnishing and corrosion. Fortunately, tarnishing is non-permanent and can be prevented with the right maintenance. Read our tips below to ensure your jewellery remains in excellent condition.
- We advise taking off your jewellery when applying hand sanitizers and hand cream.
- Avoid exposing your jewellery to chemicals, like chlorine, bleach, perfumes, and lotions
- We know that keeping your jewellery away from contact with water completely is difficult due to hand washing, rain, etc, but we recommend never wearing whilst showering, bathing, swimming, exercising etc - salt / sea and pool water is particularly damaging.
- After each wear, give your jewellery a brief clean. Things like sweat and water can affect gold, so wiping off pieces with a cloth before storing them will keep them looking newer for longer!
- When not wearing your jewellery, we recommend storing it away (in a jewellery box / pouch) in order to protect it from prolonged exposure to sunlight and oxygen.
- If tarnishing does occur, giving it a gentile scrub with a toothbrush, warm water and some washing up liquid should restore its shine.
