can you use nail polish remover containing acetone to clean white gold jewelry? Some of my white gold is turning a bit yellow and I need to clean it.Nail Polish Remover to Clean White Gold?
If your white gold jewelry is going yellow, then that means that the rhodium is wearing off, not dirty.
Rhodium is a silvery-white metal that's put on white gold to give it the white look. White gold is naturally a pale yellow.
You may have to get your jewelry re-rhodiumed, which is putting on a new layer of rhodium and giving your jewelry the white look again.Nail Polish Remover to Clean White Gold?
Hi, Acetone is a great glue remover but not suitable for cleaning jewelry. If your white gold jewelry is turning yellow that means that when you purchased them they were plated with either white gold or Rhodium which is a platinum family alloy that will cover the surface of the jewelry with lusterous white plating.
Your best bet will be the take your jewelry to a reputable jewelry store and have them clean, polish and re-plate for white look.
In the future if you need to clean any jewelty try a warm water with amonia mixture. Just be carefull with pearls and some other precious stones, like emerals, ruby, etc. They tend to be very delicate.
Good luck!
try CLR, toothpaste, or hydrogen peroxide
