1. Avoid Moisture

  • Remove jewellery before showering, swimming, or exercising to prevent exposure to moisture, which can tarnish and fade the plating.
  • Avoid contact with lotions, perfumes, and other chemicals that can damage the plating.

2. Store Carefully

  • Store pieces individually in a soft cloth or pouch to avoid scratching.
  • Keep in a dry place, away from direct sunlight or humidity to prevent tarnishing.

3. Clean Gently

  • Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the jewellery after wearing it, removing any oils or residues.
  • If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth to clean, but avoid soaking or using harsh cleaners, as they can wear down the gold plating.

4. Minimise Friction

  • Avoid wearing plated jewellery in rough conditions, as constant friction can wear down the plating.

5. Replating Option

  • With regular wear, gold-plated brass jewellery may lose its shine. Consider professional replating to restore the look if needed.

Following these steps will help your gold-plated brass jewellery stay shiny and beautiful for as long as possible!
