Gold filled is unique in that it is both a budget friendly alternative to solid gold, and has the amazing potential to last years to a lifetime with proper care. It is recommended to clean your jewelry frequently to maintain it’s beauty. Avoid salt water, chemicals, and perspiration as they can eventually take their toll on all fine jewelry. Wipe your jewelry often with a cloth to keep it clean and free of these elements. For a deeper clean to the areas the cloth will not reach, take a small bowl, fill it with warm water and clear dish soap. Place your jewelry in the solution for about one minute. Use a soft toothbrush if desired, rinse and dry thoroughly. Polish with polishing cloth provided after cleaning.
