Pure 24k gold (999.9) doesn't tarnish, rust, or corrode, so it keeps its rich color for life. It is also much softer than 10k, 14k, or 18k gold, so the main thing to protect it from is scratches, dents, and bending.

• Put your jewelry on last and take it off first when getting ready
• Remove it for workouts, sports, gardening, and heavy lifting
• Take it off before sleeping, showering, and swimming
• Handle chains and bracelets gently, and avoid pulling or tugging

Gentle cleaning is all you need:

• Soak in warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap for 10-15 minutes
• Brush softly with a baby toothbrush or soft brush, getting into any crevices
• Rinse in clean warm water
• Pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth

Avoid abrasive cloths, toothpaste, and polishing powders, which can leave fine scratches on soft pure gold.

• Bleach, chlorine, and household cleaning products
• Pools, hot tubs, and salt water
• Perfume, hairspray, and lotions (put these on before your jewelry)
• Hard surfaces, gym equipment, and other jewelry that can scratch or dent it

Store each piece separately in the pouch or box it came in, or in a soft-lined jewelry case, so pieces don't rub against each other. Fasten chains and necklaces to prevent tangling, and keep your jewelry in a dry place away from heavy items that could bend it.
