How to Get Gold Clean, and Keep it that Way
Gold doesn’t tarnish, but it can be dirtied or dulled by the oil in your skin, body lotion, makeup or other substances. There are lots of products out there that promise to clean gold, but you can do it easily with mild detergent and a soft cloth. Of course, it is also imperative to take measures to ensure that your jewelry stays looking great once it is cleaned.
~Mix a squeeze of mild dish detergent with warm water in a bowl.
~Put the gold item into the soap mixture and let sit for a few minutes.
~Use a soft toothbrush to gently scrub the jewelry.
~Remove item from soapy water, rinse it and dry thoroughly with a soft polishing cloth.
~Keep your gold jewelry in ring boxes or some other container so that it is protected.
Storing Your Jewelry
Part of proper care for your jewelry is to store them correctly. Nice jewelry is typically unique and one-of-a-kind, so you don’t want to damage the pieces if they are irreplaceable. There are some fairly easy ways around this, though. Here are some quick tips on jewelry storage.
~Isolate each jewel from one another; an easy and effective solution is to wrap each piece in layers of acid-free tissue paper, untreated cotton, or raw silk. If you sew, you might try creating individual, acid-free bags for this purpose, which you can also purchase.
~Getting jewelry boxes or wooden ring boxes is imperative. Separating your pieces will ensure that necklaces won’t get tangled up and you can avoid each item scratching one another.
Anniversary Commemorations
Celebrate your wedding anniversary in style. Renew your love for each other by updating your old-fashioned rings, or adding another one to commemorate a new chapter in your lives. The 14k yellow gold anniversary band comes in various designs that will satisfy anyone’s discriminating tastes. It is easy to wear on a daily basis and won’t irritate your skin.
Wedding bands can be ordered in different ring sizes as well as millimeter widths. They also now come in very attractive designs that include one or more gemstones to enhance their look. Anniversary bands are also available in other metal types aside from gold. There are platinum, sterling silver, titanium, stainless steel, and even rubber. Make sure that the presentation of the ring is special by placing it in a handcrafted wooden ring box.
Making Your Marriage Proposal as Special as Possible
When somebody plans a marriage proposal, it’s very likely that every little detail is planned in order to make the night as special as possible. This includes big details like how exactly the question is going to be asked, but it also comes down to small details. And it’s usually this attention to detail that the woman will remember and appreciate.
These small details, after all, are usually the things that people remember best. That’s why a wooden ring box is the perfect way to present the engagement ring. And after she excitedly says yes, she’ll have that jewelry box to keep for the rest of your lives together. As a special treat, you can even give her subsequent anniversary gifts in the same box.
Getting the Perfect Ring Box
When I wanted to propose to my girlfriend, I just didn’t want to do it in the same ol’ boring way that most guys do it: at a cheesy (re: fancy) restaurant, baseball game or putting an engagement ring at the bottom of a box of Cracker Jacks (that’s how Peter Parker did it). I wanted to do something special.
On Christmas Eve, I found a beautiful wooden ring box and placed it on our Christmas tree as an ornament. My girlfriend, ever so the alert person, noticed the box on the tree and quickly opened it up. To her surprise, she found the ring and enjoyed my rather unique way to propose. Score a point for creativity.
