FAQ's
DOES 18K GOLD TARNISH?
18K gold is highly resistant to tarnishing because it contains 75% pure gold, which does not corrode or tarnish. However, the remaining 25% consists of other metals (such as silver, copper, or nickel) that can be more reactive. Over time, these alloy metals may cause the gold to develop a slight patina or discoloration, especially with exposure to moisture, chemicals, or pollutants.
HOW TO REMOVE SCRATCHES FROM GOLD PIECES?
Scratches on 18K gold jewelry are a common occurrence with regular wear, but they can often be minimized or removed. For light scratches, gently buffing the surface with a non-abrasive jewelry polishing cloth can help restore its shine. Cleaning the piece with a mild soap solution and a soft brush can also enhance its appearance, though this won’t remove deeper marks. For significant scratches, it’s best to consult a professional jeweler who can use specialized tools to polish and restore the gold without compromising its integrity. Regular care and storage in a soft pouch can help prevent future scratches.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I HAVE MY JEWELRY CLEANED?
To keep your jewelry looking its best, we recommend cleaning it at home once a month using a gentle jewelry cleaner or mild soap and warm water. For a deeper clean and professional inspection to check for loose stones or wear, bring your pieces to a trusted jeweler every 6 to 12 months.
