Caring for 18 Karat White Gold Jewelry

SHOP white gold stud earringsYou must be aware by now that rhodium is what gives white gold its brilliant, silvery-white appearance and also protects it from scratches and tarnish. You can say that rhodium is what keeps the metal in its pristine and beautiful form. If you want to keep your jewelry protected from any wear and tear, keep it away from any harsh chemicals such as chlorine, bleach, and household cleaning agents that may wear down the layer of rhodium.

When you are heading out to do any activities such as gardening, cleaning, or sports, it is a better idea to remove your jewelry to protect it from any scratches. Also, make it a habit to apply your perfumes, lotions, and other cosmetics before wearing your jewelry, as these chemicals may cause harm to your precious metals and diamonds.

It is a given that over time, you may find your white gold jewelry losing some of its luster and giving a more subtle glow. This is why you should get your white gold jewelry replated every once in a while to restore its original shine. 

Another way to care for your lab diamond jewelry is by cleaning the jewelry regularly. It is advised to use a mild cleaning solution mixed with warm water. Soak the jewelry in the solution for 20-30 minutes and scrub with a soft-bristled toothbrush to remove dirt. At the end, pat the jewelry dry with a soft cloth to remove any residual dirt particles from it. 

You should remember that the storage of your lab diamond jewelry is just as important as its upkeep. Avoid storing multiple jewelry pieces together as it may cause scratches on the pieces. You can use silica gel packets to absorb any moisture from around the jewelry to help it not react with water.
