How to care: Solid Gold

Solid gold body jewellery is an optimum choice for piercings, be it the most expensive, it comes with its advantages. Solid 14K gold will not tarnish and unlike gold plated jewellery, it will forever maintain its luster. It will not flake or peel with age like costume jewellery. However, solid gold jewellery can still collect particles of dirt and body oils. We recommend cleaning your body jewellery to keep it looking brand new. You can use a jewellery cleaning agent if you have one, but if not, something as simple as dish washing detergent will do the trick, perhaps combining your cleaning with a soft bristle tooth brush to remove any tough built up grit.

The WikiHow has an excellent photo demonstration on self cleaning gold jewellery, you can check it out here.

Alternatively, taking your jewellery to a jeweller for a clean will always provide the ultimate results and a polish by a jeweller will restore your body jewellery back to brand new.
