💎 GoldCare: 14k & 18k Gold Jewellery

Your personal care guide from JewelHub™

💎 What You Have

Material: Solid 14k and 18k gold — prized for durability, hypoallergenic properties, and resistance to tarnish. 14k gold contains 58.5% pure gold, offering strength for daily wear, while 18k gold (75% pure) delivers richer colour and softness ideal for heirloom pieces.

Finish Types: Your jewellery may feature polished, brushed, matte, or satin finishes. Each surface requires gentle care to preserve its texture and brilliance.

🧼 Cleaning Tips

• Use a lint-free microfibre or gold-safe polishing cloth to remove fingerprints and surface oils
• For deeper cleaning, soak in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap — avoid citrus-based soaps
• Gently brush with a soft toothbrush, then rinse and pat dry
• Clean monthly if worn daily, or after exposure to lotions, perfumes, or sweat

🚫 What to Avoid

• Harsh chemicals: Bleach, chlorine, acetone, and ammonia can corrode gold and dull its finish
• Abrasive tools: Toothpaste, baking soda, or rough cloths may cause micro-scratches
• Unsafe storage: Avoid storing with other metals or loose gemstones — use a soft pouch or lined box to prevent friction damage
• Remove gold jewellery before swimming, cleaning, or applying skincare

💡 Quick Tips

• Remove gold jewellery before swimming, cleaning, or applying skincare
• Store pieces separately to avoid scratches and tangling
• Schedule professional cleaning annually for heirloom or high-value items

📏 Sizing & Fit Accuracy

All rings are mandrel-verified for precision. We provide full sizing transparency across UK, US, EU, CZ, diameter, and circumference formats. This ensures accurate fit and reduces resizing risks. Charms, pendants, and bangles are measured by internal diameter. For layered styling, we recommend measuring your wrist or neckline with a flexible tape for optimal comfort and proportion.

📊 Did You Know?

• According to the World Gold Council, 14k gold is the most popular alloy for everyday jewellery due to its balance of durability and shine
• Gold doesn't tarnish, but alloy metals (like copper or silver) can react with sulfur or chlorine, causing surface dullness — especially in lower karats
• Wearing gold regularly helps maintain its polish, as natural skin oils act as a gentle conditioner

Fine gold. Modular story.
