Skin oils, hand cream, hairspray and everyday dust settle into a polished surface and quietly flatten its glow. This Town Talk Gold Polishing Cloth is made for exactly that: 100% cotton, impregnated with a gentle cleaning agent, and formulated for gold and platinum rather than silver. A light buff lifts the film away and brings back the warm depth that made you choose a piece from our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jewelhub.co.uk\/collections\/14k-18k-fine-gold\"\u003e14k \u0026amp; 18k gold\u003c\/a\u003e collection in the first place. Made in Great Britain by Town Talk, by appointment to HM King Charles III as manufacturers of silver polishes and cleaners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 12.5cm x 17.5cm (5\" x 7\") the soft pink cloth is large enough to work a chain through in sections yet small enough to keep in a jewellery box. It needs no water, no dips and nothing to rinse away, which is what makes it safe for the pieces people are most nervous about cleaning — a wedding band worn daily, an inherited signet, a gemstone ring where you want to brighten the metal without touching the setting. Reusable and long-lasting for as long as it is not washed, it is the sort of quietly useful thing that belongs alongside any \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jewelhub.co.uk\/jewelgift\"\u003eJewelGift™\u003c\/a\u003e parcel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; background-color: #faf6ef; color: #6b4f34; font-size: 15px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left; padding: 10px; background-color: #a67c52; color: #ffffff; border: 1px solid #b98f63;\"\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left; padding: 10px; background-color: #a67c52; color: #ffffff; border: 1px solid #b98f63;\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e7dcc8;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e7dcc8;\"\u003e100% cotton, impregnated with a gentle cleaning agent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e7dcc8; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e7dcc8; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003e12.5cm x 17.5cm (5\" x 7\") — pocket and jewellery-box friendly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e7dcc8;\"\u003eFormulated For\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e7dcc8;\"\u003e9k, 14k and 18k gold, gold plate, platinum and other metals\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e7dcc8; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eAction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e7dcc8; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eLifts dulling film and restores shine — no water or chemicals\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e7dcc8;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e7dcc8;\"\u003eSoft pink cotton, brown Town Talk print\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e7dcc8; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eReusability\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e7dcc8; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eReusable and long-lasting — effective as long as it is not washed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e7dcc8;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e7dcc8;\"\u003eMade in Great Britain — Town Talk Polish Co.

In the UK, 375 means 9k, 585 means 14k and 750 means 18k — the number is the parts of pure gold per thousand. Solid gold does not tarnish and will not leave a green or black mark on your skin; if a piece discolours the finger or shows a different metal at a worn edge, you are looking at gold plate over a base metal, which needs a lighter touch since the plating is thin. Never wash the cloth, and wash your hands after use.

Does gold tarnish — and if not, why does mine look dull?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePure gold does not tarnish, and neither does platinum. What dulls them is a surface film of skin oils, soap residue, hand cream, perfume and dust, plus microscopic scratches from daily wear. Lower karats contain more alloy metal, so 9k can darken slightly where 18k will not. A polishing cloth removes the film and burnishes the surface back to brightness; it does not remove metal. More on karats and hallmarks is on our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jewelhub.co.uk\/jewelcare\"\u003eJewelCare™\u003c\/a\u003e page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. What is the difference between this and the silver polishing cloth?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe silver cloth carries an anti-tarnish agent designed to strip silver sulphide and leave a protective residue behind — a job gold never needs. This gold cloth is gentler, formulated to clean and shine gold, platinum and other metals without that tarnish-removing chemistry. Using a silver cloth on gold is not dangerous, but this one is the correct tool, particularly for softer high-karat gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Can I use it on rings set with diamonds, sapphires or pearls?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePolish the metal, not the stone. Hard stones such as diamond, sapphire and ruby tolerate a gentle buff on the surrounding band, and brightening the metal makes the stone look livelier by contrast. Keep the cloth away from pearls, opal, turquoise, emerald and any glued or foil-backed setting, where friction and residue can dull the surface. Work slowly around claws so nothing catches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. How do I clean a gold chain with it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLay the chain flat, fold the cloth over a few centimetres at a time and draw the chain gently through, moving along its length rather than rubbing in circles. Do the clasp last. For heavily textured, rope or oxidised designs, use a light hand — hard polishing can lift the deliberate darkening from recessed grooves, which is the one thing this cloth cannot put back. See the \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/jewellery-materials-care\/carecard-how-to-care-for-gold-goldcare-14k-18k\"\u003eGold Care Card\u003c\/a\u003e for piece-by-piece advice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5. How long does it last, and can I wash it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDo not wash it. Washing removes the impregnated cleaning agent and leaves you with an ordinary piece of cotton. The cloth keeps working through many uses even as it discolours, so store it flat in its wallet away from damp and replace it when a firm buff no longer brightens the metal. Keep it out of reach of children and wash your hands after use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Use It in Your Routine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLittle and often beats an annual rescue: wipe a piece after wear, keep it out of hairspray and hand cream, and give it thirty seconds with the cloth before it goes back in the box.
