How to Clean a Gold Ring

You can safely clean most gold jewelry, including rings, earrings, and necklaces, at home using a mild cleaning solution. For this, mix warm water with a little dish soap or liquid hand soap and soak the pieces in it for 10-15 minutes. This can be used to wash your jewelry on a regular basis and will help remove everyday oils, dust, and dirt from the metal.

Be careful not to use abrasive scrub brushes or silver polish on your gold jewelry as it can damage the metal. Avoid toothpaste and other harsh chemical cleaners as well, as these can damage or discolor the jewelry.

If you have heavier tarnish, try a gentle baking soda solution. Simply mix a small amount of baking soda with warm water and use a soft brush to scrub the jewelry. This will remove the tarnish and can be used on multiple pieces at once. Rinse the jewelry thoroughly with warm water and dry it with a cloth.

Moissanite is a durable stone, rating 9 to 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale. It will not need to be cleaned as often as other stones, but it should be gently washed with a toothbrush and mild detergent. For best results, wash your ring on a regular basis to keep it looking new. For extra shine, you can also use a jewelry cleaner designed for gold. Just follow the directions on the label. If you are unsure of how to properly care for your jewelry, consult a jeweler for advice.  how to clean gold ring
