Caring For Your Gold
Gold is very durable, but it can be damaged if not cared for properly. By following a few simple rules, your gold jewellery will stay beautiful.
- Gold can be scratched or dented if it's treated roughly. Don’t wear your gold jewellery while doing heavy work, and avoid contact with gritty substances.
- Chlorine can attack the surface of gold and lead to damage. Take off your gold jewellery before entering a swimming pool.
- Store each item of jewellery separately to avoid scratches.
- Jewellery can best be kept clean by using a special cleaning solution or cloth. A variety of these, for different types of jewellery, are available from your local H.Samuel store.
- Check your jewellery regularly for damage or weakness, paying particular attention to prongs, joints and fastenings. For expert advice, take it into your local H.Samuel store where one of our trained staff can examine it for you.
- H.Samuel offers a comprehensive repair service for most items of jewellery. All repairs are carried out by highly skilled craftsmen, and are guaranteed for 12 months.
- We will re-rhodium plate any white gold jewellery that was bought from H.Samuel free of charge within 12 months, as long as you have proof of purchase. After a year, a small charge will be made. Please contact your local store for details.
