Gold-plated jewelry is the perfect way to add a touch of elegance to your everyday look. However, to keep your pieces looking as brilliant as the day you bought them, proper care is essential. This guide will walk you through simple yet effective steps to maintain the beauty of your 18k gold-plated jewelry.

Cleaning Your Jewelry
Always use a soft cloth or a microfiber cleaning pad to gently wipe off any dirt or oil from your jewelry after each wear. For a deeper clean, use mild soap and lukewarm water. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the surface or damage the gold plating.

Storing Your Jewelry
Proper storage is key to preventing scratches and tarnishing. Keep your jewelry in a soft pouch or a separate compartment in your jewelry box to avoid contact with other items. Consider using anti-tarnish strips to further protect your pieces.

Everyday Care Tips
Avoid contact with harsh chemicals, such as perfumes, hairsprays, or cleaning agents.
Remove your jewelry before showering, swimming, or engaging in strenuous activities.
