Caring For Your Gold Jewelry
To keep gold shining and scratch-free, avoid contact with chlorine and other harsh chemicals. Do not wear jewelry during rough work and be sure to store it in a fabric jewelry box or pouch. To clean gold jewelry, use warm water, a mild soap, and a soft-bristled brush, if needed.
