How to Clean Gold:

1. You can clean gold jewelry with a soft toothbrush and some soapy water (dishwashing liquid works fine for this).
2. Dip the toothbrush in the water and use it to get into all of the crevices.
3. Rinse the piece in warm water until the water runs clear.
4. Buff your piece dry with a soft, lint-free cloth to make it shine after jewelry cleaning.
5. If you prefer, you can also use a non-abrasive jewelry cleaner that you can buy at the store. If your gold jewelry contains gemstones, check to make sure that the cleaner is safe to use with them.

How to Care for Gold:

1. It is important to take care of your gold pieces.
2. When you do take off your gold pieces, store them in a velvet-lined jewelry box or case that contains compartments for each item. Or, separately wrap each piece in tissue paper and keep in small bags or pouches.
3. Make sure your jewelry is dry when you put it away, because moisture can cause springs and clasps to weaken over time.
