How often should you clean your gold jewellery depends on how often you wear it. For jewellery that forms part of your daily ensemble, a gentle weekly clean is recommended. Pieces that are worn less frequently can benefit from a monthly clean, while jewellery that is reserved for special occasions should be tended to at least once per year.

In any case, the best indicator that it is time to renew your bespoke jewellery is when the finish appears dull, or when the metal is blemished by dirt, debris or other substances. Taking the time to inspect your fine jewellery after each use is best practise as it will allow you to clean it as required, allowing your collection to maintain its lustre for years to come.

To clean your gold jewellery, you will need:
small bowl
soft cloth (lint-free)
soft-bristled brush
gentle dish soap
warm water
STEP 1
Begin the cleaning process by preparing a bowl of warm (not boiling) water and a few drops of gentle dish soap. The bowl should be large enough to fit the gold piece(s) you are cleaning. Swish the mixture to ensure the soap is well blended. When cleaning gold jewellery, it is important to clean only one piece at a time to avoid scratches.
STEP 2
After adding your jewellery to the cleaning solution, it is important to let it soak for an adequate amount of time. The recommended time is between 10-20 minutes, to ensure that the soap can effectively break down any grease on the surface of the jewellery. Allowing it to soak for this length of time should be sufficient to achieve the desired result.
STEP 3
To effectively clean jewellery that has intricate carvings, a soft-bristled toothbrush, eyebrow brush or paintbrush should be used. To get into any crevices or details, gently scrub the piece with the brush to remove any dirt that is embedded in the setting.
STEP 4
Finally, rinse your jewellery with clean water and gently pat it with a soft cotton cloth to dry it. Avoid using a paper towel as the fibres may scratch the surface, especially when dealing with higher carat gold.
