Care advice for your bismarck link

As with all jewelry, care must be taken. But depending on the material the jewelery is made of, the cleaning method differs. Here are some simple cleaning tips you can follow depending on the material your chain is made of.


  • Cleaning of chain in real Gold

If your bismarck chain is made of real gold, there are several ways to proceed. An easy way to clean it is by soaking the jewelry in lukewarm water with a few drops of mild detergent. Use a soft brush (such as a toothbrush) to gently brush away dirt. Rinse thoroughly in clean water and dry gently with a soft, lint-free cloth.


  • Cleaning of chain in Silver

If your Bismarck link is silver, you can clean it by placing it in a bowl of lukewarm water and some mild dish soap. Use a soft brush to gently brush away dirt. For extra shine, rinse the jewelry in a solution with some baking soda and water. Then rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth to avoid water stains.


  • Cleaning of gold plated chain

When it comes to yellow-plated chains, it is more difficult to clean as you risk damaging the plating. For that reason, it is extra important to use gold-plated jewelry carefully and keep it away from water, perfumes, detergents and other chemicals.

The best way to care for your gold-plated jewelry is therefore to use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe away dirt and fingerprints. Here are a couple of recommendations:

  1. Avoid using water, soap or chemicals - these can break down the plating and cause it to wear.
  2. Use a soft, dry cloth to polish the jewelry and remove dirt and oils from the surface.
  3. Store the jewelery properly – keep it separate from other jewelery to avoid scratches and reduce the risk of wear on the plating.
