To keep gold jewelry looking new, examine it regularly to make sure the settings are snug and the clasps are secure. Polishing with a soft cloth after each use and storing it in a protected place will ensure longevity. Exposure to harsh chemicals such as household bleach will cause gold to discolor and disintegrate.
