How to Clean and Care for Your Solid Gold Jewellery

Solid gold is made to last — that’s the beauty of it. But just like your favourite denim or leather, it still deserves a little care along the way. With a bit of attention, your jewellery will keep its shine and stay in your rotation for years (or decades) to come.

Everyday Care Tips

Keep it last: As a rule of thumb, jewellery should be the last thing you put on — after skincare, perfume, sunscreen, or makeup. These can all affect the finish over time.
Store it right: When you’re not wearing your piece, keep it in a soft pouch or separate box to avoid scratches. Solid gold won’t tarnish, but it can still pick up tiny scuffs if left loose in a drawer.
Take it off (sometimes): Gold can handle a lot, but remove it if you’re swimming, hitting the gym, or doing anything involving chemicals or hard surfaces.

How to Clean Solid Gold at Home

You don’t need anything fancy — just gentle soap and water.

Fill a small bowl with warm water and a few drops of mild dish soap.
Let your jewellery soak for 5–10 minutes.
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently clean any grooves or texture.
Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.

Avoid harsh chemicals, toothpaste, or abrasive cloths — they can damage the surface or create micro-scratches over time.

Professional Cleaning

If your piece needs a deeper clean or a polish, consider taking it to a jeweller once a year. They can check the setting, tighten any stones, and bring back that just-made shine.

Quick Reminder: Solid Gold vs. Plated

All Glasâje jewellery is made with solid gold — no plating, no fading. That means it won’t chip or tarnish, but it still deserves gentle care to stay at its best.

Treat your jewellery like it’s part of your story — because it is. A little care goes a long way.
