In this article, you'll discover our best practices for cleaning rings, particularly gold rings, to preserve their brilliance while respecting the environment.
Why is it important to clean your rings regularly?
The rings we wear on a daily basis are subjected to a wide range of aggressions: pollution, dust, soap, cosmetics... These elements can tarnish your jewelry and alter its natural radiance. Regular cleaning not only breathes new life into your rings, but also keeps them in good condition for longer.
As an eco-responsible brand, Aglaia offers you gentle, environmentally-friendly methods to care for your gold and silver rings without using harsh chemicals. You'll help prolong the beauty of your jewelry while minimizing your ecological impact.
Cleaning gold rings: our tips for lasting shine
Gold, whether pure or plated, deserves special attention to maintain its brilliance. Here are our tips for cleaning your gold ring:
-
A bath of lukewarm water and mild soap
Soak your gold ring in a bowl of lukewarm water mixed with a few drops of mild liquid soap. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to remove any dirt, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.

Baking soda for deep cleaning
Mix a teaspoon of baking soda with a little water to form a paste. Apply to your gold ring, leave for a few minutes, then rinse and dry thoroughly.

How to care for your gold-plated rings: preserving the jewel's brilliance
Gold-plated rings are an elegant, long-lasting choice, provided you look after them with care. Unlike solid gold, gold plating is a thin layer of gold deposited on another metal, requiring more delicate gestures to avoid premature wear of the plating. Here are our recommendations for cleaning gold-plated rings:
-
Cleaning with water and white vinegar
Soak your silver ring in a mixture of warm water and white vinegar for a few minutes, then scrub gently with a soft brush before rinsing and drying.
01 -
The polishing cloth
Use a silver-specific polishing cloth to restore the shine of your rings without damaging them.
02 -
Store your jewelry in a dry place
Humidity is the enemy of silver. Store your rings in a dry place to avoid premature tarnishing.
