CARING FOR GOLD JEWELRY

Jewelry Care Guide – AuCelle

CARING FOR GOLD JEWELRY

To preserve the beauty and brilliance of your AuCelle gold jewelry, we recommend removing rings and bracelets before washing your hands, applying lotions, perfumes, or cosmetics. Chemicals found in soaps, perfumes, and cleaning products can dull the finish of fine gold over time.

While exercise is essential, it should not be done while wearing jewelry. Vigorous movement can cause unnecessary stress, scratches, or exposure to perspiration. Always remove your jewelry before swimming, showering, or using hot tubs, as chlorine and saltwater can severely damage gold.

Store each piece separately in a soft pouch or jewelry box to prevent tangling and scratching. Always close clasps before storing to protect delicate chains and mechanisms.


CARING FOR GEMSTONE & DIAMOND JEWELRY

Gemstones, including diamonds, should be protected from impact with hard or abrasive surfaces. Even diamonds can chip if struck at the right angle with sufficient force.

Avoid exposing your jewelry to:

  • Extreme temperatures

  • Perfumes and cosmetics

  • Household chemicals

  • Ultrasonic or harsh cleaning solutions

To clean diamonds and rubies, gently brush with a soft toothbrush using warm water and a small amount of mild dish soap. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a soft cloth.

For delicate stones such as turquoise, wipe gently with a damp soft cloth only. Do not submerge in water or use soaps or chemicals, as this may damage the stone.

Always ensure your jewelry is completely dry before wearing or storing it.


THE TRUE CHARACTER OF GOLD

Understanding what makes 18K and 21K gold special will help you care for your jewelry properly.

At AuCelle, we craft our pieces to highlight the natural beauty, warmth, and character of high-karat gold.
18K gold offers the perfect balance of purity, durability, and rich color, making it ideal for fine jewelry worn daily. Higher karats, while purer, are softer and more prone to scratches and wear.

18K gold’s luminous tone, smooth feel, and lasting strength make it a timeless choice—designed to be cherished and worn for generations.

With proper care, your AuCelle jewelry will remain as radiant as the day you received it.

Take care to protect your jewelry from impact against hard surfaces and avoid contact with abrasive surfaces. Even a diamond can chip if hit with enough force or at just the right angle. Extreme temperatures, perfumes, cosmetics, ultrasonic cleaning and household chemicals can also damage gemstone jewelry. To clean diamonds and rubies, gently scrub the stones using a soft toothbrush and a mixture of warm water with mild dish soap. To clean turquoise, dampen a soft cloth with warm water and gently wipe away any dirt or grime. Do not submerge turquoise in water or use any chemical or soaps, as this may damage the stones. Always ensure your jewelry is fully dry before wearing it or storing it away.
