As copper is a metal that naturally tarnishes over time, pink gold needs to be cleaned differently than your other silver, gold, or platinum jewelry. With over 36 years of experience in the jewelry industry, Atlanta Diamond Design has the expertise to help you clean your jewelry without damaging your gemstones.
