Owning 18k gold filled jewelry is a delightful and cost-effective way to enjoy the beauty of fine gold without the hefty price tag. Whether you own an exquisite Pour The Tequila-18k Gold Filled necklace or a stylish Thick Figaro Anklet-18k Gold Filled, proper care is essential to maintain its brilliance and shine. Here are some great tips to keep your 18k gold filled, silver, and Alchemia gold pieces looking as stunning as the day you got them.
1. Regular Cleaning
To maintain the radiance of your gold filled items, it's important to clean them regularly. Use a mild soap mixed with lukewarm water and a soft cloth or a brush with soft bristles. This gentle cleaning routine can effectively remove accumulated dirt and oils without damaging your jewelry.
2. Proper Storage
Store your jewelry individually to prevent scratches and tangling, especially for intricate chains like the Flat Vintage Braid Chain - 18k Gold Filled. Consider using a soft pouch or a compartmentalized jewelry box. Keeping your pieces separate will maintain their integrity and shine.
3. Keep Away from Chemicals
Avoid exposing your gold filled jewelry to harsh chemicals found in cleaning products, perfumes, and even some skincare items. These can tarnish and dull the surface, affecting the beautiful golden hues and the sleek luster of silver elements found in items like the 10 Layer Rope Necklace w/ Silver Clasp.
4. Occasional Polishing
Use a jewelry polishing cloth to occasionally buff your jewelry. This can help bring back the shine and eliminate any minor scratches. Using a microfiber cloth is a great alternative for gentle polishing to ensure your pieces remain dazzling.
5. Protect from Physical Damage
Take off your 18k gold filled jewelry before performing tasks that could potentially damage them. This includes household chores, exercises, or any high-contact activities that may lead to physical wear, especially for delicate configurations in pieces like the Paper Link Chain - 18k Gold Filled.
