Removing the stubborn scratches
Gold is a super precious metal that can stand the everyday wear and tear but is not completely scratch-proof. So, if you notice scratches on your gold jewellery, then do not panic, as there are ways in which you can remove them and restore its shine. Use a soft cloth with warm and soapy water and add a hint of baking soda. Gently apply it to the scratch and say hello to the gleaming golden light.
