All You Need to Know About Maintaining Your 18k Gold Filled Collection

When you invest in stunning jewelry pieces like those from Nub Jewels, preserving their beauty and value is essential. This is especially true for your exquisite 18k gold filled items.

Let's explore everything you need to know about keeping your 18k gold filled treasures in their best condition.

The Basics of Care

Proper Storage

Keep your 18k gold filled pieces in a dry, cool place. Ideally, store them separately in a jewelry box or pouch to prevent scratching.

Regular Cleaning

Clean your jewelry periodically with a soft cloth to remove any oils or dirt that may accumulate. For a deeper clean, use mild soap and lukewarm water, gently rinsing and drying with a soft cloth.

Avoiding Chemicals

Keep your jewelry away from harsh chemicals such as those found in cleaning products, chlorine water, or even cosmetics, as they can damage the gold layer.
