  2. Let it Rest: Gently place your rose-gold jewelry in soapy water. Allow it to soak for a few minutes. This soak helps to loosen up any dirt or grime clinging to your pieces.
  3. Soft Scrubbing: Got some intricate designs or gems? Grab a soft-bristle toothbrush and give those areas a delicate scrub. Keep it light to avoid any scratches.
  4. Rinse It Off: Take your jewelry out of its soapy bath and rinse it under lukewarm running water. Make sure every bit of soap is gone, leaving your bling refreshed.
  5. Handle with Care: Pat your jewelry dry with a soft, clean cloth. No vigorous rubbing – just a gentle touch to keep that rose-gold brilliance intact.
  6. Polish for Perfection: To restore that dazzling shine, use a soft cloth or microfiber cloth to gently polish and buff your jewelry's surface.
  7. Inspect and Store: Give your jewelry a once-over to ensure it's clean and radiant. If needed, repeat the process. Once satisfied, store your pieces in a soft jewelry pouch or a separate compartment in your jewelry box.
