White Gold Cameo Pendants

Some of the most beautiful and elegant jewelry pieces that can be passed down from generation to generation are made in the cameo style, especially pendants and brooches. Cameo Pendants are especially a favorite to many women who love to collect jewelry as they give off a 17th century feel, bringing back elegance and beauty unlike any other style of jewelry before. A lot has been modified with the cameo pendant from the silver necklace to the frame of the pendant, but the most prominent modification and improvement of all is the release of white gold cameo pendants. These pendants, especially the frame that surrounds the cameo, are made out of a popular kind of gold known commonly as white G.

To put it simply, white G refers to the mixture of actual yellow gold with at least one kind of metal, whether it is nickel, rhodium, or palladium. This forms a gold alloy that has almost the same level of beauty as high quality silver and is a lot cheaper as compared to buying really priceless gold with expensive gemstones like diamonds and the like. Another interesting thing about the white G is that it is usually made with a durable kind of metal, so it is not only beautiful but can withstand pressure and scratches most of the time. The only disadvantage with white G is that it is sensitive to harmful chemicals and will wear out every few years, so if you want to keep the white G frame of your cameo pendant to remain shiny and beautiful, you need to be able to clean and maintain it well for its luminescence to last longer.

Here are a few essential white G care tips for you to use when cleaning and maintaining your white G cameo pendants:

• Make sure that you take off your white G cameo pendant every time before you do any activities that could cause damage to the white G frame. Activities such as swimming and cleaning with harsh cleaning chemicals can wear out the beauty of the white G frame so make sure to keep it somewhere where it will not be easily exposed.

• When cleaning white G jewelry, always use mild cleaning solutions that do not contain harmful chemicals as these can really damage the white G. If worst comes to worse, the white gold would deteriorate or discolor after cleaning with detergents that contain chemicals like ammonia. So to avoid this from happening, you can use only water, soap, and a soft toothbrush to clean out the hidden dust particles.

• When storing your white gold jewelry properly, it is usually best to keep them in cloth bags or boxes with felt around it to keep it from scratching against other jewelry pieces, especially those with gemstones that have sharp edges around them. You can also keep them in a separate jewelry box apart from the others if you think it is necessary, especially if you have a large collection.
