Care for Gold Filled Jewelry

Do's

Don't's

Store your jewelry individually wrapped or in a box with compartments so they don't scratch each other
Use an Ionic cleaner if you can find one even on opals, pearls and emeralds
Use a soft cloth to clean porous gems like lapis, turquoise, jade and malachite.
Avoid heat and strong light on your Opals because it can dry them out.
Put a ring holder next to the sink to catch your rings while washing your hands so they don't wander down the drain.

Use a sonic cleaner on anything but diamonds, rubies, sapphires, gold and silver.
Get lotion, perfumes, oils or other chemicals on your jewelry
Wear your jewelry when it might be subject to sharp blows or chemicals as in cleaning, gardening or playing sports
Wear Kunzite or Zircon in sunlight as it could cause them to fade
Use paper towels for cleaning as they can scratch your gold or silver.

Tips

Clean your earring posts and wires with rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer.
Try a Water Pik® to clean imbedded materials in chains.
Diamonds are brittle and can be chipped, so wear them with extra care.
Check with your jeweler to see if your stones are treated and what special care must be given to treated stones.
Your stones can crack if subjected to sudden temperature changes.

Care for Gold Filled Jewelry

Don't wear your gold filled jewelry while bathing. Soap film will dull your piece
Ultrasonic cleaners can be used on gold filled jewelry
Ionic cleaners are superior in that they can eliminate tarnish and can be used on almost all stones.
Chlorine might damage or discolor your gold filled jewelry
Rubbing alcohol will remove grease from your gold jewelry
