How to Clean 10K, 14K & 18K Gold Jewelry

Gold jewelry, including 10K, 14K, and 18K, can accumulate dirt, oil, and residue over time. Here’s how to safely clean your gold pieces at home:

  1. Mild Soap & Warm Water – Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water. Let your jewelry soak for about 10–15 minutes.
  2. Soft-Bristle Brush – Use a soft toothbrush to gently scrub away dirt, especially in crevices.
  3. Rinse & Dry – Rinse under warm water and dry with a soft microfiber cloth to avoid scratching.

Avoid:

  • Harsh chemicals like chlorine and bleach, which can weaken gold.
  • Abrasive materials that may scratch the surface.
  • Ultrasonic cleaners unless recommended by a professional.

How to Clean Diamond Jewelry

Diamonds naturally attract oils and residue, which can dull their sparkle. To maintain maximum brilliance:

  1. Soak in a Gentle Solution – Use a mixture of warm water and mild dish soap and let your diamond jewelry soak for 15–20 minutes.
  2. Gently Brush & Rinse – Use a soft toothbrush to remove any buildup around the stones.
  3. Pat Dry & Polish – Dry with a lint-free cloth and buff gently to restore shine.

Every replacement under a plan also comes with a free polish. Stones reset, metal brought back up — the set goes back in your mouth looking like the day you got it.
