How to Clean and Maintain Your Gold Jewellery
Simple tips to keep your gold jewellery shining like new for years to come.
Gold does not rust or tarnish easily, but daily wear, lotions and perfume can dull its shine. A little care goes a long way in keeping your jewellery brilliant.
Gentle Home Cleaning
Soak your jewellery for 10–15 minutes in lukewarm water with a few drops of mild dish soap. Brush gently with a soft baby toothbrush, rinse and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.
What to Avoid
- Chlorine, bleach and harsh household cleaners.
- Toothpaste or baking soda, which can scratch the surface.
- Ultrasonic cleaners for pieces with pearls, emeralds or kundan work.
Store Pieces Separately
Keep each piece in its own soft pouch or a lined compartment so chains do not tangle and stones do not scratch softer gold.
Professional Care Once a Year
Bring your jewellery to any Aurélle store for a complimentary cleaning and prong check. Our artisans can tighten settings before a stone is ever lost.
