How to care for gold-plated jewellery

By WinkCasa Team · 1 min read

Gold-plated jewellery has a thin gold layer over a base metal. With a little care, it can look good for a long time.

Put it on last, take it off first

Apply perfume, hairspray and lotions before you wear your jewellery. Chemicals can dull the plating.

Keep it dry

Take jewellery off before you shower, swim or exercise. Water, sweat and chlorine wear plating down faster.

Clean it gently

Wipe each piece with a soft, dry cloth after wearing it. Avoid harsh cleaners and rough scrubbing.

Store it well

Keep pieces separate in a small pouch or box so they do not scratch each other. A dry place helps prevent tarnish.

A note on sensitive skin

Some people react to certain metals. If a piece irritates your skin, stop wearing it.
