Preventing your gold from tarnishing is the best way to keep it shining. We’ll give you tips on how to protect your precious jewelry so that it remains looking awesome.

Why Does Gold Tarnish?

Any gold that rates below 14 karats is going to discolor quickly. 18 karat gold is hardier against discoloration.

Housework and Your Daily Life

If you wear your jewelry (rings and bracelets in this case) while doing your dishes or cleaning the bathroom, the chemicals from the cleaning products can react with the gold.

You can buy polishing clothes at supermarkets, hardware stores, or even at your local jewelers. The ideal type of cloth to use has two sides (or two cloths sewn together).
