How long does gold jewelry last?

High-quality gold jewelry made of 585 or 750 gold lasts a lifetime – and with good care, even generations. It can be polished, enlarged, resized, reset, and engraved. No other everyday material is as regenerable.

What shortens the life of gold jewelry

• Chlorine water (swimming pool) – degrades alloys
• Acids from sweat and cosmetics
• Mechanical damage from hard work
• Sleeping with jewelry – abrasion from pillows

What extends the life of gold jewelry

• Daily wiping with a soft cloth
• Monthly soap and water cleaning
• Annual jeweler visit for prong check
• Separate storage

Conclusion

A well-maintained 585 gold ring from the 1970s still looks fabulous today. That's the difference in value compared to fashion jewelry.
