How to Care for Silver and Gold Jewelry: Simple and Effective Tips

Jewelry is more than just a fashion accessory — it’s an investment that deserves proper care. Even the finest pieces can tarnish, lose their shine, or get scratched over time. Here’s how to keep your favorite silver and gold jewelry looking beautiful.

Silver Care: How to Maintain Shine

Silver tends to darken naturally over time due to exposure to air, humidity, and even the chemicals on your skin.

Tips for silver care:

• Wipe regularly with a soft cloth or a special silver cleaning wipe.

• For light cleaning, use a warm water solution with baking soda and a drop of dish soap.

• Avoid contact with bleach, perfumes, cosmetics, or household cleaners.

How to Clean Gold Jewelry at Home

Gold doesn’t tarnish easily, but it can lose its luster due to dust, sweat, or beauty products.

Effective ways to clean gold:

• Mild soap and ammonia solution: mix warm water with a few drops of liquid soap and 2–3 drops of ammonia. Soak jewelry for 15–20 minutes, then gently brush with a soft toothbrush.

• Baking soda paste can be used gently to remove surface dullness.

• Avoid toothpaste — it contains abrasives that may scratch the surface.

• foams and liquid cleaners,

When to See a Professional

If your piece is heavily tarnished, has complex settings, or includes delicate stones, we recommend visiting a jeweler. Professional polishing or ultrasonic cleaning can restore its original beauty.
