Care Guide
Gold-plated stainless steel jewelry is the perfect blend of luxury and durability, offering a stunning look at an affordable price. To ensure your jewelry keeps its dazzling shine and lasts for years, proper care is essential. Here's your go-to guide for maintaining your beautiful gold-plated pieces.
Keep Your Jewelry Away From Harsh Chemicals
To maintain the shine of your gold-plated jewelry, always avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals, including perfumes, lotions, cleaning products, and chlorine. These can erode the gold plating over time, causing it to lose its gleam.
Tip: Apply lotion or perfume first, and let it dry before wearing your jewelry.
Protect Your Jewelry from Water & Moisture
If you accidentally wash your gold-plated jewelry, gently pat it dry with a soft cloth to remove moisture, then buff it with a microfiber cloth to restore its shine. Excessive exposure to moisture can cause the gold plating to tarnish or fade more quickly.
Tip: Better remove your jewelry before swimming, showering, or washing your hands to prevent damage.
Proper Storage for Longevity
When you're not wearing your jewelry, store it properly to avoid unnecessary wear. Store your gold-plated stainless steel jewelry in a soft-lined jewelry box or pouch, and keep each piece in a separate compartment to prevent scratches and friction.
Tip: Keep your jewelry in a dry place and away from heat sources to preserve its color and finish.
Simple Cleaning for Sparkling Jewelry
To maintain the brilliance of your gold-plated stainless steel pieces, cleaning is key. Use a soft microfiber cloth to wipe down your jewelry after wearing it.
Prevent Scratching & Friction
Gold plating is thin, so it’s crucial to avoid friction or rough surfaces that could scratch your jewelry. Wear your gold-plated jewelry with care and avoid wearing it during activities that may cause excessive wear, such as exercise or cleaning.
Tip: Remove jewelry when engaging in physical activities or heavy lifting to prevent scratching.
Regularly Inspect for Wear
Over time, the gold plating on your jewelry may begin to show signs of wear, especially on pieces worn daily. Check your jewelry regularly for any fading or scratches. If you notice the plating thinning, consider having it professionally re-plated to restore its original beauty.
Tip: Re-plating your jewelry every 3-5 years can help maintain its glossy, golden appearance.
Store in a Dry, Low-Humidity Area
Humidity can cause gold-plated jewelry to tarnish or corrode faster. Always store your jewelry in a cool, dry place to keep it looking its best.
Tip: Avoid storing jewelry in the bathroom or any area with high moisture.
Remove Jewelry Before Sleeping
While it may be tempting to wear your jewelry to bed, it's best to remove it before sleeping. This helps avoid unnecessary wear, prevents damage from getting caught on fabrics, and ensures your jewelry stays intact.
Tip: Keep a small jewelry dish by your bedside for easy storage.
With a little effort, you can ensure that your gold-plated stainless steel jewelry stays as brilliant as the day you bought it. Follow these simple steps to protect your investment and enjoy your beautiful pieces for years to come.
