Jewellery Care
CLEANING
- Regular Cleaning: Gently wipe your 18K gold jewellery with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove surface dirt and grime.
- Mild Soap Solution: For a deeper clean, soak your jewellery in a mild soap solution (warm water and a few drops of dish soap) for 20-30 minutes, then gently scrub with a soft-bristled brush, paying attention to nooks and crannies.
- Rinse and Dry: Rinse thoroughly with warm water and air dry completely before storing.
- Professional Cleaning: For intricate designs or if you have any concerns, consider professional cleaning and polishing.
STORAGE
- Separate Storage: Store your 18K gold jewellery in a soft pouch or lined box to prevent scratches and damage from friction.
- Cool and Dry: Keep your jewellery in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Protect from Dust: Use soft cloth pouches, individual jewellery boxes, or velvet-lined compartments to protect your gold from dust, air, and moisture.

THINGS TO AVOID
- Harsh Chemicals: Avoid exposing your 18K gold jewellery to harsh chemicals found in perfumes, lotions, cleaning products, or swimming pool chlorine.
- Extreme Temperatures: Avoid exposing your jewellery to extreme temperatures, as this can damage some gemstones and potentially cause discoloration.
- Leaving In Water: While water won't damage the gold itself, it can reduce its shine and cause tarnish over time if its left wet for a period of time, so regularly clean and dry your jewellery.
- Abrasive Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners or polishing cloths on gold-plated jewellery, as they can strip away the plating.
