Gold-Plated Jewelry Care Guide: How to Keep Your Pieces
Gold-plated jewelry combines elegance with affordability, but it also needs special care to maintain its shine and beauty. In this guide, we share the best tips to keep your jewelry looking new for as long as possible.
Learn how to clean your pieces properly, when to remove them, and the best ways to store them, along with special care tips from the designer of Glint & Glimmer.
1. Avoid wearing your jewelry while showering or swimming
Soap, shampoo, and chlorine can dull the plating or cause it to peel over time.
2.Apply perfume before wearing your jewelry
Perfumes and hair sprays often contain alcohol, which may weaken the gold plating upon contact.
3.Wipe it down after each use
Use a soft, dry cloth (like microfiber) to gently remove oils and sweat, maintaining the jewelry’s shine.
4.Store each piece separately
Prevent pieces from scratching each other by storing them in velvet-lined boxes or small fabric pouches.
5.Do not wear your jewelry while sleeping
Nighttime movement can cause scratches, loosen stones, or damage delicate plating.
6.Clean it gently from time to time
Soak your jewelry in lukewarm water with a mild soap for a few minutes, then gently brush it with a soft toothbrush and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Invest in your beauty and give your jewelry the care it deserves.
