In this blog, we will share practical tips so that you can take care of your white gold and shiny jewelry, keeping it looking like new.

The Importance of Proper Care

White gold and diamond jewellery is a valuable investment, not only in monetary terms, but also for its sentimental and aesthetic value . It is essential to keep them in excellent condition so that they look their best and last for years to come.

White gold, unlike yellow gold, has a more delicate finish and can lose its shine over time due to the accumulation of dirt, skin oils, and other contaminants. Diamonds, on the other hand, require special care to preserve their luminosity and prevent tarnishing. If not properly maintained, these jewels can lose their beauty and value. Therefore, it is essential to know the steps to follow to properly clean and protect them.

Steps to Clean White Gold and Diamond Jewelry

1. Preparing the Cleaning Solution

To clean your white and shiny gold jewelry, you will need a gentle and effective solution. You can prepare your own homemade mixture with the following ingredients:

• 1 cup warm water
• 1 tablespoon of mild, neutral liquid soap
• 1 tablespoon of ammonia

Mix these ingredients in a container and stir gently until you obtain a homogeneous solution.

2. Dip the Jewelry

Place your white gold and shiny jewelry into the bowl of cleaning solution, making sure it is completely submerged. Let it sit in the solution for 10-15 minutes .

3. Soft Brushing

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the jewelry to remove any accumulated dirt or residue. Pay special attention to details and hard-to-reach areas.

4. Rinse and Dry

After brushing your jewelry, rinse it with warm water to completely remove any traces of the cleaning solution. Then, dry it carefully with a soft, clean cloth , making sure that no water droplets remain.

5. Final Polishing

For the finishing touch, use a microfiber cloth or a special jewelry cloth and gently rub the pieces until they achieve a flawless shine.

Additional Tips for Jewelry Care

In addition to regular cleaning, there are other steps you can take to keep your white gold jewelry in excellent, shiny condition:

Proper Storage

Store your jewelry in cases or boxes specifically designed to protect it from scratches, bumps, and exposure to light and moisture.

Avoid Contact with Chemicals

It is advisable to remove your jewelry before doing household chores, showering or applying beauty products. The chemicals present in these products can damage white gold and diamonds.

Check Periodically

Take your jewelry to a jewelry professional at least once a year to have it inspected and any necessary adjustments or repairs made. This will help maintain the integrity and value of your pieces.
