How to Maintain the Shine of Your Gold Bracelets
Gold bracelets are timeless, elegant, and meant to last — but even solid gold needs proper care to maintain its natural shine. With the right cleaning routine and a few smart habits, your 14kt gold bracelets can stay as stunning as the day you bought them.
Here’s how to protect your investment and keep your solid gold jewelry gleaming.
1. Clean Gently with Warm Water and Mild Soap
The easiest and safest way to clean your gold bracelet is with:
-
Warm water
-
A few drops of gentle dish soap
-
A soft cloth or soft-bristled toothbrush
Soak the bracelet for 10–15 minutes, gently brush away dirt, then rinse and pat dry.
✨ Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners — they can scratch or damage your gold.

2. Store It the Right Way
Gold can scratch if stored with other jewelry. To prevent damage:
-
Keep each bracelet in a soft pouch or lined box
-
Avoid tossing them in a jewelry drawer or bag
-
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
This helps protect your jewelry’s surface and keeps it from tangling or dulling.
3. Take It Off When Needed
Even though 14kt gold is durable, daily exposure to sweat, lotions, and chlorine can build up over time.
Remove your bracelet when:
-
Swimming or using hot tubs
-
Cleaning with chemicals
-
Applying perfume, lotion, or hairspray
-
Doing heavy lifting or working out

4. Polish Occasionally
For a deeper clean or occasional polish, use:
-
A non-abrasive polishing cloth made for gold
-
Or have it professionally cleaned once a year
This helps remove tiny surface scratches and restores shine without damage.
