7 Tips: Caring for Gold-Plated Jewellery

 It’s time to upgrade your good taste as gold-plated jewellery is classier than any other accessory and more impressive when it’s not ostentatious. Gold has a beautiful antique appeal which goes well with all major fashion styles: from high-end exquisite fine dining garments to low-key casual clothes.

If you are a jewellery lover, you would already know that gold plating is achieved by dipping a piece of jewellery into a solution of gold, but the longer you wear your imitation metal jewellery (e.g. your rings or chains) without cleaning it, the more quickly it will oxidise and lose its lustre. 

Caring for and maintaining your jewellery is just as important as caring for your outfits, or, for that matter, anything that you love! So here are 7 handy tips that you can use to increase the life span of your gold-plated ornaments.

1. Always wear your gold-plated jewellery after your dressing and makeup are completed. Makeup, chemicals, and perfumes are all known to harm the gold plating, which could make your jewellery become dull quickly. After all, you want your jewellery to last for many occasions, not just this one!
2. Do not wear your jewellery while doing household chores, as detergents and soap could damage it.
3. If you love working out every day, always ensure to remove your gold-plated jewellery before exercising, as it could lose its shine over time due to sweat. 
4. Do not wear your gold-plated jewellery while swimming to protect it from salt water and chlorine, which can damage it. So take as many pictures wearing them while on the beach or at the pool, but don't forget to remove them before that big splash!
5. Wipe down your gold-plated jewellery with a damp cloth or microfiber cloth after use to remove any stains. This little ritual will go a long way in ensuring that your jewellery always keeps dazzling. 
6. When not in use, store the gold-plated jewellery in a plastic bag after squeezing out the air completely. This will help to keep the shine and brightness of the jewellery. 
7. If you are someone who likes to add a little scent to everything, then this particular tip is for you! Do not add scent to your gold-plated jewellery as it can tarnish it. 

Keeping a large collection of accessories means you have to have something for every occasion. That’s why, if you already love the idea of keeping an exclusive and detailed collection of gold plated earrings, necklaces, and bracelets for everyday wear but also want to keep them for longer, just bookmark this blog and keep these tips in mind.

We hope that these tips will assist you in keeping your gold-plated jewellery shining for a longer period of time. By taking these small steps, you can ensure a longer life for your jewellery and make the most of your investment.
