REGULAR CONTACT WITH YOUR JEWELLER
In the fast lane of fashion, gold jewellery will never date or fade. Buying and wearing the real thing is stronger than ever. A reputable jeweller can make all the difference to your purchase and will offer you all the advice you need. It's often a good idea to establish regular contact with your jeweller since he or she will be able to advise you about valuations, repairs, caring for your gold and even making jewellery to your own unique design.

SAFETY FOR YOUR JEWELLERY
It is very important to insure your gold jewellery, so that you can recover its value if it is ever misplaced or stolen. Before getting a small safe installed, contact your insurance company to seek advice on how best to secure your jewellery. An obvious thing to do is to photograph your jewellery, especially when you are wearing it. This is an inexpensive yet effective way to ensure that your jewellery is traceable, should you ever lose it. This is also vital evidence for those helping you to locate your lost or stolen jewellery. Remember to inform the police immediately if your jewellery is ever stolen.

STORAGE SOLUTIONS
With increasing interest everywhere in gold jewellery, it is now available in more designs and patterns than ever before. While you might choose to have several designs or styles, it is important to remember that every gold piece needs to be cared for in a special way. When you buy gold jewellery, make sure that it is given to you in a box with a satin or velvet lining. Gold jewellery should not be kept in pouches, because this will cause scratching and wearing away of gold if the gold pieces brush against each other. This is even more likely if the piece is studded with diamonds or other hard gemstones.
Ideally, two different designs should not be kept in the same box. Wrapping smaller items of jewellery individually in tissue paper before keeping them in the box safeguards them from scratches.

CLEANING
It is best to use a soft cleaning cloth, chamois leather or synthetic chamois to clean your gold jewellery. A good gold cleaning liquid is also useful for maintaining the shining glory of your gold jewellery. Always use soft, non-abrasive material. A good cleaning liquid may be used for intricate jewellery with delicate links, which a cloth may not reach. Any new piece of gold jewellery that you treasure and love may become a family heirloom in time. If you are lucky enough to already possess a vintage or antique family heirloom you must look after this jewellery very carefully. As many of the pieces will be very delicate, you should clean these pieces with a soft damp cloth, or better still get them professional cleaned by a reliable jeweller.
