How to Clean Gold Plate

Gold jewellery never goes out of style. To keep it shiny and sparkling like new, it’s important to use the correct types of gold jewellery cleansers. The three most popular types of gold are white, rose, and yellow. What gives gold these different colors depends on the metals used in the alloy mixture.

Additionally, gold comes in various karats, which are used to measure the purity of the alloy to gold ratio. 24 karat gold is the most pure form. Gold also comes in 10 karat, 14 karat, and 18 karat. You might find markings on your gold jewellery telling you how many karats it contains. Color or karats do not impact the type of gold cleanser used on your jewellery.

Gold jewellery is also sometimes plated or filled. You can clean plated or filled gold jewellery with the same methods used to clean gold jewellery.

For all types of gold jewellery, we recommend Connoisseurs Dazzle Drops Advanced Jewellery Cleaner. With this non-toxic cleanser, you can utilize a fresh solution every time you clean for the most effective results. You can also try Connoisseurs Fine Jewellery Cleaner in the familiar red jar.
