Care:
Gold plated jewellery requires special care to preserve the plating:
Don't allow it to get wet.Apply any lotions or perfumes before putting the jewellery on as chemicals in lotions and perfumes can seriously tarnish jewellery.Gentle rubbing with a soft jewellery cloth or cotton ball will help keep gold plate clean. Don't use a polishing cloth or anything abrasive, including metal polishes.
Store gold plated jewellery on its own in a soft bag or a box to reduce tarnishing and avoid any friction damage.
