Gold filled jewelry is much more durable than plated or silver options, so it will last for a much longer time if it is well maintained. Gold filled is easy to care for; and the best cleaning method is gently polishing it with a soft cloth. You can also wash it with mild soap when it is necessary. Since, any kind of jewelry can be tarnished by getting in contact with harsh chemicals we suggest you to keep it away from detergents or similar cleaning agents. We recommend you to store your piece, in the jewelry pouch that is provided when not in use.
