How to clean your chunky gold jewellery
Looking after your chunky gold jewellery is so important when you’re wearing it often. So, storing it correctly and cleaning your gold jewellery when needed is essential. Keep your gold jewellery separate to other jewellery pieces or in their original storage bags, and similarly, when you’re stacking your jewellery, make sure you layer pieces of the same metal. This avoids the metals corroding and tarnishing when they come into contact with each other.
The best way to clean your chunky gold jewellery is with a jewellery cleanser such as this Connoisseurs Jewellery Foam for a deep clean or this Connoisseurs Ultrasoft Gold Jewellery Polishing Cloth for a quick touch up. Or, if you’re looking for a DIY way to clean your gold jewellery, discover our How To Clean Gold Jewellery At Home.
