How to Care for Your Plated and Multi-Stone Jewelry

Gold or rose gold plating enhances your jewelry's elegance, but proper care is essential to maintain its beauty:

  1. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Perfumes, lotions, and cleaning agents can weaken the plating, causing discoloration. Always put on jewelry after applying cosmetics.
  2. Remove Before Activities: Take off your jewelry during workouts, swimming, or showering to prevent exposure to sweat, chlorine, or soap, which can speed up fading.
  3. Store Safely: Keep your pieces in a soft pouch or a separate compartment to avoid scratches. Never pile multiple items together, especially plated jewelry as it can be more prone to wear.
  4. Gentle Cleaning Only: Use a soft cloth to gently wipe your jewelry. Avoid abrasive materials or chemicals.

Note: Silver is naturally a softer metal. Rings and accessories made from silver require extra care to prevent deformation or damage during wear.

Care Tips for Multi-Stone Designs

Jewelry with multiple stones requires extra attention to prevent damage and ensure its longevity:

  1. Handle with Care: Avoid knocking or hitting your ring against hard surfaces, as this can loosen the stones or cause scratches.
  2. Wear Responsibly: Remove your ring during heavy-duty activities like cooking, cleaning, or gardening.
  3. Check Regularly: Inspect your jewelry occasionally to ensure the stones are secure. Contact us if you notice any loosening or loss of stones.
  4. Professional Maintenance: If you observe issues like plating fading or stones falling out, contact us immediately for assistance.

Note: Due to the softness of silver, it’s important to be cautious when wearing silver rings with intricate multi-stone designs, as the setting may be more prone to bending or loosening stones over time.

Factors That May Cause Discoloration or Damage

  1. Excessive Moisture: Frequent exposure to water or sweat can corrode the plating.
  2. Skin pH: Certain skin types with high acidity can naturally wear down plating faster.
  3. Friction: Regular rubbing against other objects or rough surfaces may erode the layer of plating or loosen stones.
  4. Metal Properties: Silver, being softer, is more susceptible to scratches, dents, and shape changes if not handled carefully.
