Caring for Your Fine Gold Piece
14k and 18k gold is a precious metal investment. With proper care it holds its colour and quality indefinitely — fine gold does not tarnish, but it can scratch and dull without attention.
| Daily wear | Remove during heavy physical activity, cleaning, and gardening |
| Cleaning | Warm water, a drop of mild dish soap, soft brush — rinse and dry with a lint-free cloth |
| Storage | Store separately — gold scratches easily when touching other metals |
| Professional care | Annual professional polish recommended for fine pieces |
| Avoid | Chlorine, bleach, harsh chemicals, and ultrasonic cleaners for pieces with stones |
