đź’Ž Jewelry Care Guide: Plated & Multi-Stone Jewelry

Preserve the brilliance of your jewelry by following these expert care tips designed specifically for gold-plated, rose gold-plated, and multi-stone pieces.


✨ Caring for Plated Jewelry (Gold / Rose Gold / Silver)

Plated jewelry adds a touch of elegance and warmth, but it also requires mindful care to maintain its beauty and longevity.

âś… Avoid Harsh Chemicals

Perfumes, lotions, hairsprays, and cleaning agents can weaken or discolor plating. Always apply cosmetics before putting on your jewelry.

âś… Remove During Activities

Take off your jewelry before showering, swimming, or exercising. Chlorine, sweat, and soap can speed up tarnishing and fading.

âś… Store Properly

Keep your jewelry in a soft pouch or separate box compartment to avoid scratches. Do not store multiple items together—friction can wear down plating quickly.

âś… Clean Gently

Use a soft, non-abrasive cloth to wipe down your jewelry after each wear. Avoid chemical cleaners and polishing agents.

Note: Silver is naturally softer than other metals. Silver rings, especially thin bands or intricate styles, require extra care to avoid bending or warping.


đź’Ť Caring for Multi-Stone Jewelry

Jewelry featuring multiple gemstones—such as moissanite, sapphire, or emerald—offers exceptional sparkle but needs delicate handling to prevent damage.

âś… Handle With Care

Avoid impact against hard surfaces, which can loosen stones or damage the setting.

âś… Remove During Hands-On Tasks

Take off your jewelry before cleaning, gardening, cooking, or any heavy-duty activity.

âś… Inspect Regularly

Check your pieces occasionally to make sure stones are still securely set. If you notice any movement or loss, contact us for repair options.

đźš« Common Causes of Discoloration or Damage

  • Excess Moisture: Frequent exposure to water or sweat can degrade plating.

  • High Skin Acidity: Natural body chemistry may cause plating to fade faster for some individuals.

  • Friction: Constant rubbing against surfaces or other jewelry may erode finishes or loosen settings.

  • Metal Properties: Silver, being a soft metal, is more prone to scratches, dents, and shape distortion if mishandled.
