Jewelry Care Guide
Keep your real gold jewelry brilliant for a lifetime
Congratulations on owning a piece of genuine 14K solid gold piercing jewelry — a piece that will never fade, peel, or trigger allergies like plated or gold-filled alternatives. With just a little care, it will stay as beautiful as the day you first wore it, accompanying you through every important moment. Here's everything you need to know.
Daily Wear
Long-Term Comfort
14K solid gold is highly resistant to corrosion. You can shower, wash hands, and even sleep without removing it.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Chlorine (swimming pools), bleach, perfume, and hairspray can dull the gold's shine. Put on your jewelry after applying cosmetics and fragrance.
Seawater & Sweat
They won't damage the gold, but salt and sweat residues may temporarily reduce brilliance. Rinse with fresh water after intense workouts or swimming in the sea.
Proper Cleaning
Gentle Routine
Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water. Soak your jewelry for 5 minutes, gently scrub with a soft toothbrush, rinse with clean water, and pat dry with a soft cloth.
Deep Polishing
Once a month, use a dedicated jewelry polishing cloth (e.g., Sunshine cloth) to restore its mirror shine.
These Will Damage Your Jewelry
Toothpaste, baking soda, or ultrasonic cleaners — especially if your piece has gemstone settings or delicate clasps, as they can become loose.
Storage & Organization
Store Separately
Keep each piece in its own soft pouch or jewelry box to avoid scratches from contact with other metals (silver, base metal alloys).
Keep Dry
Store in a cool, dry place. If you live in a humid area, throw in a silica gel packet.
Special Care for Piercing Jewelry
The posts of earrings and nose studs are delicate. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of them to prevent bending.
New Piercing Aftercare
Best for Healing
14K solid gold is hypoallergenic and ideal for initial piercings. Clean the piercing area daily with sterile saline solution to remove buildup.
Do Not Rotate Unnecessarily
During healing (usually 6–8 weeks), avoid twisting the jewelry, as it can damage newly formed tissue.
No Alcohol or Hydrogen Peroxide
These over-irritate the piercing and delay healing. Stick to pure saline spray.
Regular Inspection & Repair
Check Every 3–6 Months
Ensure that backs (butterfly or push-on), threaded balls, and clickers are secure. Look for any bending of posts.
Scratches?
14K gold can develop micro-scratches over time from daily wear. We offer a free lifetime polishing service — just send it back to us.
Broken Piece?
Solid gold rarely breaks, but if it does, contact us for professional soldering by our goldsmiths.
Avoid These Habits
- Abrasive cleaners or brushes (including scouring pads).
- Wearing your jewelry in extreme temperatures (hot saunas or freezing cold — metal conducts heat and may irritate skin).
- Forcefully pulling or trying to bend nose rings/hoops open with bare hands — always use proper opening tools.
- Storing different karat gold pieces together (harder gold can scratch softer alloys).
