care for gold advice

I got a 10 gram oval gold bar/pendant (it's got an 18K hoop for wearing as a
pendant) from 999.9 fine gold. I was wondering is
someone could advise me on what would be the best way to clean it, without
demaging the surface? It's got some flower motif on a highly polished
surface, so I don't know what to do (only soft cloth or...). Would polishing
paste or cream damage the motif, letters etc.? Any advice is welcome! Thank
you!

If you get it nasty use mild dishwashing liquid and a soft cloth. It won't
get nasty on its own. .999 fine Gold is soft enough that you can mar it with
too heavy pressure of another jewelry piece on it but it does NOT tarnish.
