How to protect plated jewelry

time2012/12/25

Keep gold-plated jewelry away from hard surfaces. Bumps and scratches will cause the gold layer to wear away faster.


Store your gold-plated jewelry in a velvet lined jewelry box, or wrap it in a soft material that will prevent scratches.

 Lightly wipe your gold-plated jewelry with a damp cotton cloth. This will help to eliminate any dirt or dust from accumulating on the surface and wearing away the gold layer.

 Use a non-abrasive jewelry polishing cloth and gently rub the gold-plated jewelry to restore shine.

Take the gold-plated jewelry to a local jeweler where they can replace the gold layer. This may be necessary if the gold-plating has already started to wear off. Check with your local jeweler to see what they charge for this service.
