How to Care for Your Forever and Clasped Jewelry

Part of wearing your magic means living in your jewelry — and sometimes that means it gets a little dirty.
Regular cleaning helps your Brave Daughters 14k gold pieces stay bright, strong, and full of the energy you put into them.

Whether your jewelry is permanently welded or clasped, these simple care tips will help preserve its beauty and meaning.

Why Cleaning Matters

Your jewelry represents moments, milestones, and memories — so caring for it should feel just as meaningful.

When you take the time to maintain your gold, you’re not just polishing metal; you’re refreshing the energy that lives in the piece.

Things to Remember Before Cleaning

Be Gentle with Gold

Gold is a soft, natural metal — whether it’s yellow, white, or rose gold, handle it carefully.
Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes that could scratch or dull the surface.

Handle Gemstones with Care

Most gemstones — like diamonds, rubies, or green onyx — can be cleaned the same way as gold.
But for pearls and opals, avoid soaking them in water. Instead, gently wipe them with a soft, dry cloth.

Protect Against Accidents

Always clean your jewelry away from open drains. If cleaning near a sink, plug the drain to prevent any mishaps.

Step 1 — Create a Gentle Cleaning Solution

Mix a small amount of Dawn Dish Soap with lukewarm water in a shallow dish.
This mild solution breaks down oils and dirt without harming your gold.

Let your jewelry soak for a few minutes — or if it’s welded on, rinse it gently under running water instead.

Step 2 — Brush Gently

Rinse each piece under lukewarm or cool water.
Pat dry with a soft cloth or let it air dry completely.

For extra shine, lightly buff with a lint-free polishing cloth — your jewelry will thank you by glowing even brighter.

Because when you wear your magic, it shines back at you. ✨
