How to Care for Your Gold Plated Jewellery
At Wear Your Faith By Tish, our gold pieces are crafted with a 14K gold plated finish. With the right care, your jewellery will stay beautiful and radiant for much longer. Follow these simple tips to get the most out of your pieces.
Keep It Dry
Water is the enemy of gold plating. Always remove your jewellery before:
- Showering or bathing
- Swimming (pools, ocean, and spa water can accelerate tarnishing)
- Washing your hands or dishes
- Working out or exercising
Avoid Chemicals
Chemicals found in everyday products can wear down the gold plating. Put your jewellery on last — after applying:
- Perfume and body spray
- Moisturiser and body lotion
- Sunscreen
- Hair products
Clean Gently
To keep your pieces looking their best, wipe them down with a soft, dry cloth after each wear to remove oils and residue. Avoid abrasive cloths, jewellery cleaning solutions, or ultrasonic cleaners, as these can strip the plating.
Store with Care
When you're not wearing your pieces, store them in a cool, dry place — ideally in the pouch. Keep pieces separated to prevent scratching, and avoid storing in humid environments like bathrooms.
Wear with Love
Gold plated jewellery is designed to be worn and enjoyed. The more mindfully you wear it, the longer it will last. Some natural wear over time is normal and part of the beauty of handcrafted jewellery.
