JEWELRY CARE

Stainless steel jewelry is an excellent choice due to its durability and affordability. It is waterproof and hypoallergenic. Whether plated or not, following proper care instructions will help keep your pieces looking stunning over time.

Plated (gold or colored)

Gold or color-plated stainless steel jewelry has a delicate coating that enhances its beauty but requires extra care to maintain its shine and finish. 

Here are some tips to preserve your plated jewelry: 

  • Avoid exposure to water, perfumes, lotions, makeup, and harsh chemicals to prevent discoloration and tarnishing.
  • Remove plated jewelry before bathing, swimming, exercising, or doing tasks like cooking or cleaning.
  • Handle your jewelry gently to avoid bending or weakening the plating, and store it in a soft pouch or lined box to prevent scratches.
  • Clean with a soft cloth after use, or use a mild soap solution if needed, avoiding abrasive materials or harsh cleaners.

Not plated

  • Avoid wearing jewelry during intense activities or tasks that could cause scratches or dents.
  • Handle it gently to maintain its shape, and avoid dropping it on hard surfaces.
  • Store separately in a pouch or jewelry box to prevent scratches, and use anti-tarnish strips to keep it shiny.
