EXTENDING THE LIFE OF YOUR GOLD-PLATED JEWELRY
A little bit of special care is required to preserve the gold plating on your jewelry as long as possible. Here are our favorite tips to keep your gold-plated jewelry looking its best:
1. After showering, using lotion, or any other body product, wait until your product is completely dry before slipping on your gold-plated accessories. Some products can have a negative reaction to gold-plating and can cause changes in color or texture.
2. Always apply perfume before putting on your jewelry. Perfume chemicals can react with the metal and cause a change in the appearance, so you don’t want to spray it directly on your pieces!
3. Don't sleep, shower, or do the dishes in your gold-plated jewelry.
4. When traveling or not wearing your accessories, store them in a jewelry case or wrapped up in a soft cloth to prevent scratching.
Nowadays, having gold-plated jewelry doesn't mean that you can't afford full gold jewelry. They've become so popular with fashionistas because not only are they practical and affordable but also because they're available in so many styles and designs to match your outfits. However, because they have a thin layer of gold, they demand more care than other pieces of jewelry. To help them keep their luster, always follow the instructions outlined here, and they'll be shining bright for years to come.
