Caring for gold fill jewelry.
Will 14k gold fill tarnish?
It really depends on what touches it, how you clean it and how you store it! Gold-fill jewelry consists of a thick layer of solid gold that’s been heat and pressure-bonded to a high-quality brass core, and contains much more solid gold than gold-plated jewelry. That said, keep your gold-fill jewelry away from the usual culprits: chlorine, hot tubs, sunscreen, sweat, fragrances, saunas and harsh cleansers, as they can corrode that thick layer of gold over time. Gold-fill jewelry can also be more sensitive depending on your unique body chemistry. Removing your pieces before sleep and wiping them gently after use can make a big
difference in keeping them bright and shiny.
How to clean and protect gold-fill jewelry:
- Keep away from chemicals. Harsh cleansers, cosmetics, fragrances and
chlorine are no-nos.
- Store your pieces safely in an airtight container to
protect it from the humidity in the air.
- Polish sparingly. Use your polishing cloth to buff away tarnish—but use a
soft hand! Even gold-fill jewelry’s thick outer layer of gold can be slowly
corroded by over-polishing.
- Try a gentle soak—a great tip for how to clean jewelry if it’s heavily
tarnished! To do this, soak it in clean water with a touch of mild dish soap
or cleanser, then carefully pat it dry.
