In short
- Wipe with a soft cloth dipped in lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap.
- Never soak pieces with stones or pearls, and pat everything completely dry.
- Keep pieces away from dips, polishing pastes, bleach, chlorine and ultrasonic cleaners.
Gold PVD jewellery needs very little looking after, but a gentle clean every few weeks keeps it bright.
The routine
- Mix a drop of mild, unscented soap into lukewarm water.
- Wipe each piece with a soft cloth dipped in the water. Do not soak pieces with stones or pearls.
- Wipe again with a cloth dampened in clean water.
- Pat completely dry before storing it in its pouch.
What to avoid
- Jewellery dips, polishing pastes and abrasive cloths, which can wear the gold finish.
- Household cleaners, bleach and chlorine.
- Ultrasonic cleaners for pieces with stones or pearls.
