How to Care for Solid Gold Jewelry

Na Hoku gold jewelry is crafted to be worn and enjoyed for years. Because it is solid gold,  not plated, it is naturally more durable and resistant to wear, allowing you to enjoy its beauty every day. While solid gold holds up better than plated pieces, proper care will help keep your jewelry looking its brightest.

• Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals: Remove your jewelry before swimming in chlorinated pools or using household cleaners, bleach, or other strong chemicals.
•  Apply products before wearing jewelry: Lotions, perfumes, sunscreen, and hairspray can leave residue on gold. Allow these products to absorb or dry before putting on your gold jewelry.
• Remove during strenuous activity: To help prevent scratching, bending, or impact damage, take off your jewelry before physical activities such as exercising, gardening, or doing work that may expose it to hard surfaces.
• Gentle cleaning: Soak your jewelry in warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap. Use a soft brush to clean crevices, rinse thoroughly, and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh or abrasive cleaners, which can affect plated pieces more easily.
• Storage: When not wearing your jewelry, store each piece separately in a soft pouch or lined jewelry box to prevent scratching or tangling. Make sure your jewelry is completely dry when you store it.
• Regular inspections: Periodically check your  jewelry for loose stones or signs of wear. If you notice any issues, contact your local Na Hoku store location or Na Hoku Customer Service.

With proper care, your solid gold jewelry will maintain its brilliance and continue to be cherished for years to come.
