Gold filled jewelry is amazing for everyday wear. Unlike gold plated jewelry, you can shower and sleep in gold filled jewelry without the gold rubbing or flaking off. Usually, gold filled jewelry requires very little cleaning; however, with everyday wear, dirt and dust will accumulate on the pieces. We'll outline the best ways to clean your jewelry, as well as give tips on what to avoid.

Cleaning gold filled jewelry

Use mild soap and lukewarm water and soak your piece in the solution for 5 minutes.

Gently scrub your piece with a soft bristled toothbrush or with your fingers Make sure to really focus on the areas with the most build-up. 

Gently pat your piece dry with a soft cloth.

Rinse and repeat if needed. Use a polishing cloth to help restore its original shine.

Day-to-day preventative care

Gold filled jewelry is amazing for everyday wear, but avoiding certain things will help prolong its lifetime and shine. Here are some guidelines to follow: 

Don't apply harsh chemicals directly on the pieces (e.g. hand sanitizer, lotion, perfume, sunscreen). If you are applying these on your body, put your jewelry on after everything is applied.

Avoid pools and hot tubs, as the chlorine will damage the gold. 

Avoid swimming in the ocean, as the salt water can harm the gold.

When you are not wearing your gold filled jewelry, store it in a sealed zip lock bag or jewelry case.

If you do accidentally do these a few times, not to worry! Your pieces are very durable. But - if you follow these guidelines, your pieces will last longer.
