Gold FILLED
JEWELLERY the term used to describe jewellery made of non-gold metal but
covered with a thick gold layer. The jewellery is also referred to as rolled gold,
rolled gold plated, or gold overlay jewellery. As a result of the process that
yields the gold-filled jewellery, this jewellery is cheaper than any solid gold
jewellery made of the same carat gold.
Gold FILLED JEWELLERY lasts a long time, and some pieces from the Victorian Era
have been shown to be in good condition, more than 100 years later.
Of course, the longevity of the gold pieces depends on how they are taken care
of, and also how often they were used. Gold-filled jewellery will not tarnish easily,
and they don’t rust.
What causes gold filled jewellery to tarnish?
· Swimming pools and hot tubs... just don't do it! The chemicals used are harsh
and will damage your gold filled jewellery. If you wear it accidentally clean
it thoroughly as soon as possible, see below!
· Working out... getting sweaty at the gym is not advised whilst wearing your
jewellery; take it off!
· Cosmetics, cosmetics remover and sun lotion... Put your jewellery on last and
take it off first. If you have a day at the beach and your jewellery ends up
covered in sunscreen then give it a good scrub as soon as possible!
How to do a deep clean of gold filled jewellery
· Fill a large bowl with warm water. As warm as is comfortable to keep you
hands in is about right. Use a large serving bowl so it doesn't cool too
quickly.
· Mix a teaspoon of washing up into the warm water thoroughly.
· Pop your jewellery into the bowl and leave it to soak for 3 minutes.
· Lift it out and place onto a soft towel, don't rinse yet!
· Use a super soft toothbrush and work your way gently across/along your gold
filled jewellery making sure the bristles get into every nook and cranny.
· Rinse under a running tap of warm water. Use about as hot as you can handle;
it will help your jewellery dry quickly.
· Place the jewellery back on your towel and use a soft cotton cloth the dry
and thoroughly as possible.
· Leave overnight between two dry cotton cloths to dry perfectly.
