Jewellery care guideUpdated 2 years ago
We know that sometimes jewellery can get dirty, here are a few tips to keep your bling nice and shiny!
As it is a thin layer of gold, extra care should be taken to maximize its lifespan.
- Do not spray on perfume or other sprays while wearing your gold-plated jewellery.
- Wear your jewellery after you have sprayed on your favourite perfume so that the chemicals on the spray or perfume do not interact with your jewellery’s metal.
- Wait until your lotion or cream is dry or has been absorbed by your skin before you wear your gold-plated ring, bracelet or necklace.
- Substances like oil, nail polish, nail polish remover, chlorine, perfume and the like may react with metal/plated jewellery and will cause it to tarnish easily.
- This also goes with sweat, so make sure you don’t forget to remove your gold-plated jewellery when you exercise or anything that would require heavy physical work, and also when swimming.
- Every after use, clean your plated jewellery with a cotton ball or a very soft cloth to remove any dust and dirt it has acquired.
- Gently rubbing the surface of your gold-plated jewellery using a soft jewellery cloth also helps restore shine.
- If your jewellery needs more cleaning you may clean it with warm, soapy water. Soak it for a few minutes and you may clean it with a soft brush.
- Stay away from jewellery cleaners and antibacterial soaps which may have certain components that will just make your gold-plated jewellery tarnish more quickly.
- To avoid scratches, wrap your jewellery in a soft cloth after cleaning or keep it in a jewellery box separate from other types of jewellery you have.
