Gold jewelry is timeless, valuable, and designed to last for generations. Proper care ensures your 18K and 14K gold jewelry keeps its shine, strength, and beauty—whether you wear it daily or on special occasions.
This Gold Jewelry Care Guide is written for customers worldwide, especially buyers from Europe, the USA, and the UAE, to help you protect your investment and enjoy your gold jewelry for years.
Why Gold Jewelry Care Matters
Although gold does not rust or tarnish like other metals, it can still:
- Lose shine over time
- Scratch with daily wear
- Bend if not stored properly
- Accumulate dirt, oils, and cosmetic residue
With the right care routine, gold jewelry can look new for decades.
Understanding Gold Purity (18K vs 14K)
Knowing your gold type helps you care for it correctly:
- 18K Gold: Higher gold content, richer color, slightly softer
- 14K Gold: More durable, ideal for daily wear
Dubai Jewel Factory specializes in 18K gold jewelry, combining luxury with long-lasting quality.
Daily Gold Jewelry Care Tips
Follow these simple habits to protect your gold jewelry:

These small steps prevent dullness and scratches.
