Caring for your Rose Gold jewellery

To preserve the allure of your 18kt rose gold pieces and maintain their stunning lustre, regular cleaning and proper care are essential. Here are a few tips to keep your pieces looking their best for years to come:

Gentle cleaning: Begin by gently rinsing your jewellery with lukewarm water to remove any surface dirt or debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these may damage the delicate surface. Instead, opt for a mild soap solution and a soft=bristled brush to clean hard-to-reach areas.

Polishing: After cleaning, gently pat your 18kt rose gold jewellery dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. You can then use a polishing cloth specifically designed for gold jewellery to restore its natural shine and brilliance.

Storing your 18kt rose gold pieces: When you are not wearing your jewellery, it is essential to store them safely in a separate jewellery box or pouch. This will prevent scratching and tangling. We recommend keeping your pieces away from other metals to avoid potential abrasion.

A way about substance exposure: Rose Gold, like any other precious metal, can be sensitive to certain substances. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals, perfume, cosmetics, and household cleaners which can dull its shine and damage it over time.
