When it comes to enhancing your personal style, nothing quite compares to the elegance of 18k Gold Filled jewelry. But like all precious items, they require thoughtful care to maintain their luster and beauty over time. At Nub Jewels, we are passionate about helping you preserve your cherished pieces. This guide addresses some commonly asked questions about how to care for 18k Gold Filled accessories, along with tips for other materials like silver and Alchemia gold.
What is 18k Gold Filled, and How is it Different from Other Materials?
Gold-filled jewelry consists of a thick layer of gold bonded to a base metal; this layer is much thicker than gold plating, making it more durable and resistant to tarnishing. When compared to materials like sterling silver or Alchemia gold, which have their own unique properties and care requirements, 18k Gold Filled offers a perfect balance of luxury and durability.
How Do I Care for 18k Gold Filled Jewelry?
To keep your 18k Gold Filled items looking new:
- Avoid Moisture: Exposure to moisture can lead to tarnishing. Make sure to remove your jewelry when showering, swimming, or exercising to avoid contact with water or sweat.
- Clean Gently: Use a soft cloth to gently clean your jewelry. Avoid harsh chemicals that can erode the surface.
- Store Properly: Keep pieces in a dry, soft pouch to prevent scratches and exposure to air, which can tarnish gold over time.
