Jewelry Care

Gold plated jewelry is a great option when you’re looking for an accessory or gift that doesn’t break your bank.

Gold plating is a thin layer of gold is placed on to coat the surface. The jewelry has the same appearance as a gold jewel but at a lower price. The gold layer will slowly fade over time and the copper/brass will be exposed. This is a natural process of a plated item and is not a product defect.

We don't want your special moment fade. To make your jewelry durable and last long, here are some tips for jewelry care.

Jewelry: Gold plated/silver plated over copper or brass

  • Keep your jewelry dry. So don't do laundry or wash dishes with them on.
  • Don't wear them in pool or at a spa or in seawater
  • Take them off before working out
  • Keep them away from body chemistry: your perfume, lotion, hand cream etc
  • Don't use jewelry cleaner to clean them. They are too harsh to them
  • Put them in a sealed bag and box in a dry and clean environment when you don't wear them.

 

Jewelry: Gold plated/silver plated over stainless steel

  • they are waterproof but please keep them away from harsh or sharp objects in case there are scratches left on the surface.
