#PROPER CARE for Antique Gold

When cleaning, we use warm water to restore the shine to the piece. Many jewelers use a "steam" cleaning. You will be amazed to the shine you will get. If you follow this advice and I assure you will have your piece for a lifetime and yes, it will always recover the shine as the first day when you bought it.

The process is different since its done through "heat" which gives the gold the property of sticking longer giving it lifetime quality in contrary of GP
