Gold Jewelry Care Guide

When properly cared for, LeMing’s 14K and 10K gold pieces are made to last for years of everyday wear. With their refined shine and subtle warm hue, gold jewelry can be worn daily and styled effortlessly for any occasion.

What to Know

Gold is strong, but it is not indestructible. It is designed to be worn often and loved every day, but even your most essential pieces need gentle care to maintain their shine and beauty.

Over time, exposure to cosmetics, perfume, sweat, moisture, and chemicals may affect the appearance of your jewelry. With proper care and regular cleaning, your gold pieces can continue to look beautiful over time.

How to Store

Be mindful of how you store and wear your gold jewelry. When not being worn, store each piece in a safe, dry place to protect it from moisture, scratches, and contact with other jewelry.

We recommend keeping your pieces separately in a soft pouch or jewelry box. This helps prevent tangling, rubbing, and surface scratches.

Traveling? Use a jewelry case with individual compartments to keep each piece protected while on the go.

Our Commitment

At LeMing, jewelry is more than craftsmanship and style. We care about creating pieces that are thoughtfully made, carefully selected, and designed for lasting beauty.

From material selection to production details, we focus on quality, comfort, and timeless design, so every piece can become part of your everyday life with confidence.

How to Clean Gold Jewelry

While gold is made to last, it still requires gentle care and occasional polishing. Here is how to keep your gold jewelry looking fresh:

To maintain the shine of your jewelry, gently clean it with a soft-bristled brush or soft cloth using warm water and mild, detergent-free soap.
Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, bleach, and rough polishing tools.
Ultrasonic cleaners may be safe for solid 10K and 14K gold jewelry, but should not be used if the piece contains pearls, opals, emeralds, or other delicate gemstones.
After cleaning, rinse carefully and dry completely with a soft cloth before storing.
If your gold jewelry begins to look dull, gently use a polishing cloth to help restore its shine.

Why is my gold jewelry causing discoloration on my skin?

If you notice slight discoloration on your skin, it is usually normal and does not necessarily mean there is anything wrong with your jewelry.

LeMing uses 14K and 10K gold to create jewelry with strength and durability. These gold types contain metal alloys that are harder than pure gold, making them more suitable for everyday wear.

When jewelry is worn while applying cosmetics, skincare products, perfume, or lotion, tiny metal particles may rub off due to friction. These particles can appear dark in color and may leave a light mark on the skin.

If this happens, it is safe and can usually be cleaned with soap and water. To reduce this, we recommend applying cosmetics, perfume, and skincare products before wearing your jewelry, and gently wiping your pieces after each wear.
