Proper care of 750 gold jewelry — this is how it stays beautiful for a lifetime

Real gold does not rust, tarnish, or lose its value. But 750 gold jewelry also deserves some attention from time to time — not because it is delicate, but simply because it deserves it. With a few simple habits, your jewelry will remain as radiant as on the first day.

Why gold jewelry can become dull

Even though gold itself is extremely durable, impurities accumulate in everyday life: skin oils, lotion, perfume, soap — all of this leaves a thin film on the jewelry that dulls its shine. This is not damage, just a harmless deposit. And it can be easily removed.

750 gold does not change chemically — it just looks duller when not maintained. A little attention is enough to fully restore its original shine.

Cleaning — easier than you think

For home cleaning, you don't need an expensive specialty product. Warm water, a drop of mild dish soap, and a soft toothbrush are completely sufficient.

01

Soaking

Soak jewelry for 2–3 minutes in lukewarm water with a drop of mild dish soap.

02

Gently brush

Gently brush all surfaces and crevices with a soft toothbrush — without pressure.

03

Rinse

Rinse thoroughly with clear, lukewarm water — no soap residue should remain.

04

Dab dry

Gently dab with a soft, lint-free cloth — never rub. Done.

“Well-maintained 750 gold jewelry needs no comparison — it simply shines."

What to consider when wearing

A few small habits significantly extend the joy of your 18-carat gold jewelry. No major effort — but a noticeable difference.

Recommended

  • Put on jewelry last — after perfume and cream
  • Remove before sports
  • Store separately — fabric pouches or individual compartments
  • Regular gentle cleaning
  • Once a year to the goldsmith

Better to avoid

  • Contact with chlorinated water (swimming pool)
  • Direct contact with perfume and cosmetics
  • Abrasive agents or aggressive cleaners
  • Ultrasonic cleaners without consultation
  • Storing jewelry together — this causes scratches

Store like a pro

Gold jewelry likes to have space. Scratches rarely occur while wearing — more often during storage when pieces lie on top of each other. Small fabric pouches or separate compartments in a jewelry box are ideal.

Those who own multiple chains know the tangle problem. The most elegant solution: store chains hung individually — this protects the material and saves time when putting them on.

When to visit the goldsmith?

Once a year, a quick check with a professional is worthwhile. They check settings for a secure fit, professionally polish the jewelry, and identify small signs of wear before they become a bigger problem.

It costs little and gives you the assurance that your piece made of 750 gold will shine on you for many years — just as it should.
