How do you polish gold jewelry at home?

The best way to polish gold jewelry at home is with a special gold polishing cloth that contains micro-fine polishing agents. Simply rub gently – small scratches will be filled in, and the shine will be restored. No pressure, no circular motions, always polish along the length of the piece.

Comparison of Polishing Methods

• Gold polishing cloth (best home solution): Micro-fine polishing agents, gentle, effective
• Soapy water + microfiber cloth: Removes dirt, but not scratches
• Toothpaste: Too abrasive for gold – creates new scratches
• Professional polishing at the jeweler: Once a year – for deep-seated scratches

When to go to the jeweler?

For visible scratches or a significant loss of shine, professional polishing (high-gloss, 20–50 Euros) or matting at the jeweler is worthwhile. Jewelry with stones should preferably be professionally polished – incorrect technique can damage settings.
