How to Clean Gold Jewelry

  1. Mix a squeeze of mild dish detergent with warm water in a bowl.
  2. Put the gold item into the soap mixture and let sit for a few minutes.
  3. Use a soft toothbrush to gently scrub the jewelry.
  4. Remove item from soapy water, rinse it and dry thoroughly with a soft polishing cloth.

Tips & Warnings

  • It is wise to check clasps, mountings, prongs and posts for damage before washing the jewelry. If you find a problem, take the item to a jeweler for repair.
  • Always be sure gold jewelry is completely dry before storing it.
  • Never use a harsh or abrasive cleaner, a stiff brush or a scouring pad on gold.
