Like anything you wear regularly, jewelry can benefit from occasional cleaning. Over time, natural oils, skincare products, and everyday buildup can collect on the surface of a piece.
Cleaning 18K gold filled jewelry is straightforward and typically requires only gentle care to maintain its appearance.
Cleaning Gold Filled Jewelry at Home
To clean your 18K gold filled jewelry, gently wipe your pieces with a soft microfiber cloth or jewelry polishing cloth. This helps remove oils, residue, and buildup that may accumulate with wear.
If you purchased your jewelry from Gold Theory, you can use the Gold Theory cleaning cloth included with your purchase to polish and maintain the finish of your jewelry.
In most cases, no additional cleaning products are necessary. A soft cloth is often sufficient to refresh the appearance of gold filled jewelry.
