Gold is an amazing precious metal and it needs just a little amount of care to keep its luster. So, here are five simple tips to take care of your gold jewelry bracelet so that it doesn’t lose its patina and remains as beautiful as the first time you wore it.

1. Clean your gold jewelry bracelet every six months. You can clean it yourself with a mild dishwashing detergent and water, a commercial dip cleaning solution, an ultrasonic cleaner or you can take it to a jeweler and have it professionally cleaned.

2. Store your fine gold jewelry bracelet separately by using a jewelry box or wrap it individually in soft cloths even when traveling.

3. Try not to wear your jewelry when you are using commercial cleaners or put gloves on to protect your jewelry. At all costs, try to avoid banging your jewelry against any hard surfaces because it can scratch or dent your jewelry accidentally.

4. If you wear lotions, creams or even using soap while washing your hands, try removing your gold jewelry bracelet when you apply your lotion to keep it from becoming dull.

5. Inspect your bracelet often. Make sure that the links aren’t broken or worn down and when you put on your jewelry, be sure that it is securely fastened so it does not slip off and get lost without you knowing it until it’s too late.   

If used together, these tips should help you keep your bracelet safe and well cared for.
