How to Clean and Care for Precious Metal Jewellery

One of the most powerful frameworks I’ve encountered in this journey is the Seven Mountains of

Society—the idea that God calls people to different spheres of influence:

  • Wipe them regularly with a soft cloth after wearing.

  • Avoid contact with water, lotions, and perfumes.

  • For deeper cleaning, use a silver polishing cloth or our gentle jewellery dip, both available in our shop.

  • Store silver in an airtight container or anti-tarnish pouch when not in use.

Gold is durable and relatively low-maintenance, but it still benefits from a little extra care:

  • Clean with warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.

  • Avoid abrasive cleaners, which can scratch the surface.

  • White gold is rhodium-plated to achieve its bright, silvery finish. Over time, this plating will wear down and may need to be reapplied by a jeweller to restore its original lustre.

  • Rose gold contains copper, which may cause the colour to deepen slightly over time — a natural change that adds character to the piece.

Platinum is one of the most durable and low-maintenance precious metals:

  • It doesn’t tarnish and can be easily cleaned with mild soap and water.

  • Its natural whiteness won’t fade, so there’s no need for re-plating.

  • Although dense and tough, tiny surface scratches may develop with wear — many people appreciate the soft “patina” platinum acquires over time.

Gold is durable and relatively low-maintenance, but it still benefits from a little extra care:

  • Put on jewellery after applying makeup, perfume, or hairspray.

  • Remove jewellery before swimming, showering, or exercising.

  • Wipe pieces down with a soft cloth before storing.

With the right care, your jewellery will stay radiant for years to come.
