Tarnish is a natural occurrence on all gold. High quality jewelry should be preserved in order to last for a long time. In order for this to happen we recommend the following:
-
-
Avoid Contact with Chemicals: Keep your gold plated jewelry away from harsh chemicals such as cleaning agents, perfumes, and lotions, as they can damage the gold layer.
-
Remove Before Swimming or Bathing: Chlorine and saltwater can cause gold plating to wear off. Remove your jewelry before swimming, bathing, or engaging in water-related activities.
-
Store Properly: Store your gold plated pieces in a cool, dry place. Use a soft pouch or separate compartments in a jewelry box to avoid scratches and tangling.
-
Clean Gently: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe your jewelry after each use to remove oils and dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth, then rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft towel.
-
Avoid Abrasive Materials: Do not use abrasive cloths, brushes, or cleaners that can scratch the gold surface. Always opt for soft materials when cleaning or handling your jewelry.
-
Put Jewelry On Last: Make sure to put on your gold plated jewelry after applying makeup, hair products, and perfumes to minimize exposure to these chemicals.
-
Limit Exposure to Sweat: Sweat can cause gold plating to wear off faster. Try to remove your jewelry before exercising or engaging in activities that cause heavy sweating.
