To keep gold-plated jewellery looking its best, focus on gentle cleaning, avoiding water and harsh chemicals.

Regularly wipe the jewellery with a soft cloth to remove surface dirt and residue. Avoid wearing jewellery while swimming, showering.

Also avoid applying lotions and perfumes and contact with any harsh chemicals, as these can damage the plating.

Store the jewellery properly, in a dry, cool place, preferably in a separate box or pouch.
