What can it polish?

The Rouge Gold Polishing Cloth is designed for suitable gold and gold-plated items, making it useful for jewellery and other precious metal pieces.

It can be used on suitable items such as:

• Gold rings
• Gold necklaces
• Gold bracelets
• Gold earrings
• Gold pendants
• Gold chains
• Gold watches and suitable gold components
• Gold-plated jewellery
• Other suitable gold items

Always take particular care with gold-plated items because the plating can be thin. Test an inconspicuous area first and avoid excessive polishing.

Can it remove fine scratches?

The Jewellers Rouge in the cloth provides a fine polishing action that can help reduce the appearance of minor scratches and surface marks on suitable gold items.

It is important to distinguish between fine surface marks and deep scratches. A polishing cloth is not intended to remove deep damage. For deeper scratches that require more abrasive polishing, a suitable Jewellers Rouge Powder may be more appropriate.

For valuable or heavily damaged jewellery, professional assessment and polishing may be preferable to attempting to remove deep scratches yourself.

Important information

Do not wash the polishing cloth. The cloth is impregnated with Jewellers Rouge and other polishing compounds. Washing it will remove these compounds and reduce or eliminate its polishing ability.

The cloth will gradually become darker as it picks up tarnish, dirt and polishing residue. This does not necessarily mean that the cloth needs replacing.

Use a fresh section of the cloth as required and store it in a clean, dry place when not in use.

Always test the cloth on a small, inconspicuous area first, particularly when working with valuable, antique or delicate jewellery.

Take extra care with gold-plated items. Excessive polishing may eventually affect a thin plating layer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Jewellers Rouge?

Jewellers Rouge is a fine polishing compound used by jewellers to polish precious metals. In this cloth, the rouge is incorporated into the cotton material to provide a convenient polishing action.

Can I use this cloth on gold jewellery?

Yes. The cloth is designed specifically for suitable gold jewellery and can be used to remove tarnish, dirt, fingerprints, oils and minor surface marks.

Can I use the Rouge Gold Polishing Cloth on gold-plated jewellery?

Yes, it can be used on suitable gold-plated jewellery, but extra care is required. Gold plating can be thin, so avoid excessive polishing and always test an inconspicuous area first.

Does a gold polishing cloth remove tarnish?

Yes. The Jewellers Rouge in the cloth helps remove tarnish and surface dirt from suitable gold items while restoring their shine.

Does the cloth remove scratches from gold?

It can help reduce the appearance of fine scratches and minor surface marks. Deeper scratches require a more abrasive polishing process and may need professional attention.

Why does my Gold Polishing Cloth turn black?

The cloth becomes darker as the Jewellers Rouge picks up tarnish, dirt and other surface residue from the jewellery. The darkening is a normal result of using the polishing cloth.

Can I wash a Rouge Gold Polishing Cloth?

No. Do not wash the cloth. Washing removes the Jewellers Rouge and polishing compounds that give the cloth its cleaning and polishing properties.

How do I use a Gold Polishing Cloth?

Simply rub the cloth gently over the gold item, concentrating on areas affected by tarnish, dirt and dullness. Continue polishing until the desired sheen has been achieved.

Should I clean heavily tarnished gold before using the cloth?

For heavily tarnished gold, we recommend using Priory Polishes metal cleaner first. Once the heavy tarnish has been removed and the item is dry, the Rouge Gold Polishing Cloth can be used to restore the shine and maintain the finish.

How large is the Rouge Gold Polishing Cloth?

The cloth is approximately 12 x 17 inches (30.5 x 43.2 cm), providing a generous polishing surface.

Where is the Gold Polishing Cloth made?

The cloth is made in England from high-quality materials.

How long does a Gold Polishing Cloth last?

The lifespan depends on how frequently it is used and how much jewellery is polished with it. Because the polishing compounds are impregnated into the cloth, it should not be washed. Continue using fresh sections of the cloth until its polishing performance is no longer effective.

What is the difference between a Gold Polishing Cloth and Jewellers Rouge Powder?

The Gold Polishing Cloth provides a convenient fine polishing action for regular jewellery maintenance and minor surface marks. Jewellers Rouge Powder is a separate polishing compound that can provide a more abrasive polishing action for more demanding polishing work.
