CARE TIPS

It is very important to understand that gold plating requires very gentle care.

Gold plated jewelry shouldn’t be ever wiped or polished with any coarse fabrics, because you can gradually rub off the plating. It won’t happen in one day, but it gradually will remove the gold layer, no matter how thick the plating is. This does happen with gold as well, but because it’s gold throughout, there is no visible difference except that your jewelry gets slightly thinner over the years.

The best way to clean it is to use a dry chamois or soft cloth. You would need to remove any oils from your jewelry first, by using a cotton ball dampened with a bit of alcohol or vinegar.

You should NEVER try cleaning your plated jewelry with any abrasive or powder-like substances.

FUNNY FACT! It’s very easy to clean gold plated jewelry with beer – the jewelry piece needs to be submerged in beer for several minutes, washed off in running water and then polished with a very soft cloth.
