Gold-plated silver jewelry consists of a silver base coated with a layer of gold plating. When caring for it, in addition to caring for the silver itself, it is especially important to protect the gold plating on the surface; therefore, you should not use the same polishing methods as you would for ordinary silver jewelry.
Put it on last before you leave, and take it off first when you get home.
We recommend completing your skincare routine, applying makeup, and spraying perfume before putting on your jewelry, and waiting until the areas where the jewelry will come into contact with your skin are dry. Avoid spraying perfume or other products directly onto the jewelry.
Please remove your jewelry before showering, swimming, soaking in hot springs, exercising, or using household cleaning products to minimize contact with sweat, chlorinated water, and chemicals. We also recommend removing it before going to bed to prevent crushing, snagging, and repeated friction.
Wipe gently; avoid polishing
After daily wear, gently wipe away sweat and stains from the surface with a clean, dry, soft cloth that does not contain abrasive ingredients. Do not rub back and forth vigorously.
For gold-plated silver jewelry, do not use silver-polishing cloths containing polishing or deoxidizing agents, nor should you use toothpaste, baking soda, silver cleaning solutions, or metal polishes. These methods may wear down or damage the plating.
If you encounter stubborn stains, we recommend first consulting the specific cleaning instructions for the product. Do not soak, scrub, or use ultrasonic cleaning equipment on your own.
Store separately and keep dry.
Before storing your jewelry, make sure the surfaces are dry, then place each piece separately in a soft jewelry pouch or a compartmentalized jewelry box to prevent friction with other metal accessories.
Store your jewelry away from damp environments and prolonged direct sunlight; it is not recommended to leave jewelry in the bathroom. For necklaces, untangle the chain before storing to minimize damage caused by pulling on knots.
Reduce Frequent Friction
Rings and bracelets are more likely to come into contact with tabletops, tools, and other hard objects during daily activities. It’s a good idea to remove them before moving objects, working out, or doing housework.
When wearing multiple pieces of jewelry together, be mindful of whether they are constantly bumping into or rubbing against each other. Leaving some space between them can help reduce surface wear.
Understanding How Coatings Change Over Time With Wear
The gold plating will gradually wear away with wear and friction, and the color and luster may change over time. The rate of change depends on the plating process, frequency of wear, environmental conditions, and care methods. Proper care can help slow down wear, but it cannot keep the plating permanently unchanged.
If you notice significant fading, localized exposure of the silver base, or other surface changes, please consult our customer service first to determine if further treatment is possible. Avoid attempting to restore the color by polishing the item yourself.
For specific care instructions, please refer to the product page or the included instructions; for styles featuring pearls, gemstones, or other materials, you must also follow the care instructions for those materials.
