Jewellery care guide

Caring for gold jewellery

Gold is a timeless precious metal, cherished for its natural warmth, brilliance, and enduring beauty. As pure gold is naturally soft, every piece deserves gentle care to preserve its handcrafted finish and distinctive character. Clean your jewellery using non-abrasive jewellery care products and handle it with care to help maintain its original appearance. Over time, a subtle patina may develop – a natural expression of the metal that many consider part of its charm. Satinised surfaces may become smoother with wear, while hammered finishes soften naturally. Rhodium-plated white and black gold may gradually fade and can be professionally re-plated when needed.

Crafted to last for generations, gold jewellery develops character through everyday wear. Gentle cleaning and mindful care help preserve its natural lustre and handcrafted finish, while subtle changes to the surface over time reflect the beauty of this precious metal. Rhodium-plated gold can be professionally re-plated when desired.

A note on care:

  • Clean with non-abrasive jewellery care products.
  • Expect natural patina over time - this is part of the metal’s beauty.
  • Surface finishes:
    • Satinised: May smoothen with daily use.
    • Hammered: Dents soften with wear.
    • Rhodium plating (white/black gold): Will naturally wear off; can be re-plated.
  • 100% nickel-free.
