Care Your Gold-plated Jewelry


Your jewelry collection is more than just an accessory; it’s an expression of your style and a reflection of your cherished moments. To keep your jewelry looking flawless for years to come, follow these simple yet effective care tips:

Daily Care for Gold-Plated Jewelry

  • Put Jewelry On Last: Apply perfume, lotions, or hairspray at least 10-15 minutes before wearing your jewelry. This prevents residue from damaging the gold plating.
  • Wipe After Each Wear: Use a soft polishing cloth to gently clean your jewelry after each use. This will remove sweat, smudges, and oils that could tarnish the plating.
  • Store Smart: Always store your jewelry in a separate, soft pouch or our felt jewelry bag to prevent pieces from scratching each other. Keep items in a cool, dry, and dark environment, like a drawer or jewelry box.

Cleaning Your Gold-Plated Jewelry

  • Polishing Cloth is Key: Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Clean your jewelry exclusively with a fine polishing cloth to restore its shine and maintain the integrity of the gold plating.

Dos and Don’ts of Gold-Plated Jewelry Care

Dos:

  • Give Each Piece Space: Store items separately to prevent them from rubbing against each other.
  • Stay Dry: Remove jewelry before washing your hands, showering, or swimming. Gold plating doesn’t fare well against salty or chlorinated water.
  • Protect from the Sun: Prolonged sun exposure can dull the shine of your gold-plated pieces. It’s best to keep them away from direct sunlight when not being worn.

Don’ts:

  • No Harsh Cleaners: Say no to abrasive scrubs or chemical cleaners, as they can strip the gold plating.
  • Don’t Wear During Physical Activities: Avoid wearing your jewelry to the gym or during chores to minimize contact with sweat and abrasions.

 

Why Proper Care Matters

Gold-plated jewelry is a chic and affordable way to accessorize, but it requires a bit of extra TLC to keep its luster. Following these easy steps not only ensures that your favorite pieces stay stunning but also helps you preserve the sentimental value of your collection.
