At RetroGold, we very well understand the charm and the value that gold jewellery holds, particularly when it comes to vintage gold jewellery and pre owned gold jewellery. It does not matter if you are a vintage jewellery collector, a fashion influencer, or someone just looking to cherish heirloom pieces; taking proper care of the jewellery is crucial to maintaining its beauty as well as integrity for many more years.
Why does Gold Jewellery need special Attention?
Indeed, gold is a very durable metal, and it is not easily destroyed. However, over time, its exposure to several other elements, such as sweat, perfumes, lotions, and even the air, can take away its shine. This is very true considering the vintage gold jewellery, which often shows intricate designs and delicate handwork that needs thoughtful maintenance.
Cleaning Your Gold Jewellery the Right Way
A common mistake that several women make is using very harsh chemicals or abrasive materials to clean their beautiful pieces. For both new and pre owned gold jewellery, gentle cleaning is key. Here’s how you must do it:
1. Soak your piece in a bowl of lukewarm water with a drop of mild liquid soap.
2. Brush gently using a soft-bristled toothbrush, especially in difficult corners where dirt accumulates.
3. Rinse under clean water and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.
Do not use ultrasonic cleaners on vintage gold jewellery, as they can damage softer elements, such as enamel.
Storing Your Gold Jewellery
Gold can get scratched by other metals or maybe by stones. Keep your jewellery in a soft pouch or a lined jewellery box. For pre owned gold jewellery that has a sentimental value, storing it in anti-tarnish cloth will surely protect its shine.
Professional Care and Inspection
We recommend having your gold inspected once a year, particularly for vintage gold jewellery. At RetroGold, we have a team that assesses jewellery for loose stones, weakened parts, or signs of wear that may further damage the jewellery. This is a straightforward way to preserve both the monetary and sentimental value of your gold.
