Care for your Jewels

How to Keep Your Gold-Plated Jewelry Looking Its Best ✨

Gold-plated jewelry is gorgeous, but since it’s not solid gold, it needs a little extra care to keep its shine for as long as possible. Here are some simple tips to help your pieces stay looking fresh and radiant.

🚫 What to Avoid:

Perfume & Sprays: Apply them before putting on your jewelry to avoid buildup.
Lotion & Creams: Let them absorb fully before wearing your rings, bracelets, or necklaces.
Oils, Nail Polish & Removers: These can react with the metal and speed up tarnishing.
Chlorine & Sweat: Best to remove your jewelry before swimming, exercising, or any activity that might cause heavy sweating.

✨ How to Keep the Shine:

After each wear, gently wipe your jewelry with a soft cloth or cotton ball to remove any dirt or oils.
For a deeper clean, soak your pieces in warm, soapy water for a few minutes, then wipe them down. Avoid harsh jewelry cleaners or antibacterial soaps—they can wear down the plating.
Store smartly! Keep your jewelry in a soft pouch, box, or even a zip-lock bag to prevent scratches.
Keep different metals separate. Gold-plated and silver-plated pieces stored together can cause tarnishing—better to give them their own space.
Store your jewelry in a dry place to help prevent fading.
