If you think it's time to restore your gold jewelry to its lost noble appearance, you can use these methods.

They are suitable for both products without stones and those with inserts.

Soda and foil

A combination of baking soda and foil can be used to clean jewelry.

Dissolve 2-3 tablespoons of soda in a glass of hot water, then pour the solution into a container with a sheet of foil at the bottom. Place the jewelry in the container and leave overnight. In the morning, rinse the jewelry under cold water and wipe dry.

Lipstick

This decorative cosmetic product can also be used to add shine to gold jewelry.

Apply lipstick (transparent is best) to a cloth and wipe the jewelry. This method is especially suitable for gold-plated jewelry.

Chalk and ammonia

A “combo” of chalk and ammonia will clean gold jewelry no less effectively.

Mix the crushed chalk with ammonia until you get a paste. Then, using a toothbrush or cloth, gently clean the jewelry, removing dirt and dust. After cleaning, rinse the jewelry in water and dry thoroughly before storing.
