HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR GOLD & MOISSANITE JEWELLERY

How to Care for Your Gold and Moissanite Jewellery

 

Owning beautiful jewellery is a joy, but keeping it looking as dazzling as the day you bought it requires some care and attention. Whether it’s a timeless gold chain or a sparkling Moissanite pendant, proper maintenance can help your jewellery last for years. At Frozen Gold, we believe in creating pieces that are made to be worn and treasured, so here’s a guide to keeping your jewellery in pristine condition.

 

General Jewellery Care Tips

 

1. Store Safely: Keep your jewellery in a soft, lined jewellery box or a pouch to avoid scratches and tangling. For gold pieces, avoid storing them with other metals to prevent damage.

2. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Exposure to household cleaning products, perfumes, chlorine, or hairspray can tarnish gold and dull gemstones. Always remove your jewellery before cleaning, swimming, or applying beauty products.

3. Remove Before Sleeping or Exercising: Activities that involve sweating or physical strain can damage your jewellery or cause wear over time.

 

Caring for Gold Jewellery

 

Gold jewellery—whether solid gold or gold vermeil—requires regular upkeep to maintain its shine:

• Clean Gently: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to buff your gold jewellery regularly. For deeper cleaning, mix warm water with mild soap and use a soft toothbrush to gently scrub.

• Avoid Abrasives: Never use harsh cleaning agents or abrasive cloths, as these can scratch the gold surface.

• Replating Gold Vermeil: Over time, the gold layer on gold vermeil may wear down, especially with heavy use. Bring your piece back to life by having it professionally replated when needed.

 

Caring for Moissanite Jewellery

 

Moissanite is known for its incredible brilliance, but like any gemstone, it needs care to maintain its sparkle:

• Clean Regularly: Use a solution of warm water and a drop of dish soap to clean your Moissanite jewellery. Soak for 10–15 minutes, then gently scrub with a soft toothbrush to remove dirt or oils.

• Rinse Thoroughly: Make sure to rinse your jewellery under running water to remove any soap residue, which can dull the stone’s brilliance.

• Avoid High Heat: While Moissanite is highly durable, extreme heat can cause damage to the setting or surrounding materials.

 

What to Avoid

 

1. Ultrasonic Cleaners for Gold Vermeil: These can strip the gold plating over time. Stick to gentle cleaning methods.

2. Harsh Polishes: Abrasive polishing agents can scratch metals and stones.

3. Prolonged Water Exposure: Even though Moissanite and gold are water-resistant, excessive exposure (e.g., in pools or showers) can dull their shine over time.
