WHY CLEAN GOLD JEWELRY?
Free engraving
Pure gold is corrosion-resistant, but too malleable for jewelry. To make them stronger, they are made with an alloy of gold and other metals. Certain metals in this alloy, such as copper and silver, can react with corrosive chemicals, altering the jewel's color. It is therefore important to care for jewelry according to its composition.
Although there is no strict rule on how often to clean gold or gold-plated jewelry, it is essential to care for it and maintain it to ensure it lasts a long time. That's why we've put together a few tips from our Brussels jewellers to help you keep your jewelry looking its best.

How to clean gold jewelry without damaging it ?
To preserve the brilliance of your fine gold jewelry, it's essential to use gentle cleaning methods. Opt for delicate products to avoid damaging the surface of your pendants, wedding rings or other jewels.
Here are a few simple tips you can put into practice:
- First method: soak your jewelry in soapy water for 20 minutes, then rub gently and rinse thoroughly with fresh water.
- Second method: apply onion juice to your jewelry, then rinse and dry with a soft cloth.
- Third method: use talcum powder or breadcrumbs to gently clean your gold jewelry by rubbing it on a soft cloth.
These methods are ideal for slightly tarnished men's and women's jewelry. In addition, we recommend storing them in a jewelry box to avoid scratching and rubbing between the different jewels.
However, if your jewels are showing more pronounced signs of wear, call on Artémi and her expertise as an artisan jeweler to clean them thoroughly.

Make your gold jewelry shine again with Artémi's rhodium-plating service
Rhodium plating is a refined and precious jewelry technique. It involves applying a thin layer of rhodium to a piece of jewelry. This gives it a sparkling color and protects it from oxidation and wear. Before starting surface treatment, the jewel must be polished to smooth out scratches and other imperfections. Rhodium plating involves cleaning gold or plated jewelry using ultrasonic baths, then dipping it in a rhodium bath. For a shine that lasts, trust Artémi, who has mastered this technique to perfection!
