Jewelry Care Guide
Caring for your jewelry ensures its lasting beauty and shine. Follow these simple tips to keep your Go Gold Depot pieces looking their best for years to come.
Gold Filled Jewelry Care
Gold filled jewelry is a durable, high-quality alternative to solid gold, built to last with proper care. To keep your 18K gold filled pieces looking new:
Light Water Use is Okay: It's fine for light exposure like handwashing or quick showers.
Avoid Harsh Environments: Keep your jewelry away from pools, hot tubs, ocean water, and saunas. Chlorine, saltwater, and extreme heat can damage the gold layer.
Remove Before Activities: Take off your jewelry before working out, swimming, or engaging in strenuous activities. Sweat can dull the finish over time.
Chemicals Are Not Friends: Avoid direct contact with perfumes, lotions, hairspray, sunscreens, and other chemicals, as they can cause discoloration or damage.
No Sleeping: Always remove your jewelry before sleeping to prevent tangling, bending, or unnecessary wear.
Proper Storage: Store your gold filled pieces in a dry, airtight place, away from direct sunlight and humidity. An airtight bag or a jewelry box helps prevent tarnishing and scratches.
Gentle Cleaning: If needed, gently clean your jewelry with a soft cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before storing.
Important Note about Gold Filled
Gold filled is not solid gold. While it has a thick layer of gold bonded to a base metal, it's not indestructible. With time and wear, especially without proper care, the outer gold layer can eventually show signs of wear. Following these care tips will significantly extend the life and luster of your gold filled.
