14K Solid Gold Care Guide

How to ensure your 14k gold jewelry lasts forever

Crafted with 58.3% pure gold and durable alloys, 14k gold is ideal for daily wear. Minimize exposure to cleaning agents, beauty products, water, and chemicals to preserve its luster.

Key Care Tips by Scenario

• Daily Wear: Remove before showering, swimming, or applying perfume/lotion (let products fully absorb before putting jewelry back on).

• Sports: Take off during high-intensity workouts – sweat, friction, and impact can damage settings or dull the metal.

• Travel: Store in the LUMIDIAM travel pouch (separate from other jewelry) to avoid scratches; keep the pouch in a dry bag to protect from humidity.

How to clean 14k gold jewelry

Mix detergent-free soap with warm water. Soak one piece at a time for 5 minutes, gently scrub with a soft brush, rinse carefully (avoid drains!), and dry with a lint-free cloth.

How to store 14k gold jewelry

Keep in a dry, cool area (use individual pouches or divided boxes) to prevent tarnish. Wear regularly – skin oils enhance shine!

Gemstone Setting Care

• Avoid ultrasonic cleaners for porous gems (opal, turquoise) or soft stones (pearl, amber) – use only the gentle soap-water method.

• Check prongs regularly (especially after travel/sports) – loose prongs can lead to gem loss; have a jeweler tighten if needed.

Why is my jewelry leaving black marks?

Caused by skin-alloy reactions (common with 14k/18k gold), especially on sweaty areas. It’s natural, unavoidable, and varies by person.
