How to care for gold chains
Care starts with preventing abrasion, chemical exposure and tangled storage. Delicate or stone-set chains need extra caution.
Store it separately
Fasten the clasp and keep the chain away from harder pieces that can scratch or tangle it.
Avoid chemical shortcuts
Remove jewelry around strong cleaners and products that may leave residue or attack components.
Stop when something moves
A loose stone, bent link or damaged clasp is an inspection issue, not a home-cleaning issue.
Make it personal
Do you know every material in the piece?
A chain with stones, plating or an unknown treatment may need different care from another chain. If you are unsure of the construction or notice damage, keep the piece aside and ask for an inspection before trying stronger cleaning methods.
