Gold-platted jewellery
Here are some tips for caring for gold-plated jewellery:
- Avoid exposure to moisture: Moisture can cause gold plating to wear off more quickly, so it is important to avoid wearing gold-plated jewellery in the shower, swimming pool, or other wet environments.
- Store it properly: Store gold-plated jewellery in a dry place, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Consider storing each piece of jewellery in a separate bag or container to prevent scratching.
- Clean it regularly: Regular cleaning can help to maintain the appearance of gold-plated jewellery and prevent tarnishing. Use a soft cloth to gently wipe the jewellery clean, or use a jewellery cleaning solution specifically designed for gold-plated items.
- Avoid exposing it to chemicals: Certain chemicals, such as household cleaners, perfumes, and lotions, can cause gold plating to deteriorate or discolour. It is best to put on jewellery after applying these products to avoid damage.
- Have it re-plated: Over time, the gold plating on gold-plated jewellery may begin to wear off, revealing the base metal underneath. If this happens, you may be able to have the jewellery re-plated to restore its original appearance.
By following these simple care tips, you can help to maintain the appearance of your gold-plated jewellery and enjoy wearing it for years to come.
