Avoid Contact with Water and Chemicals
Gold-plated jewelry should never come into contact with water, as it can cause the gold plating to wear off. This means you should avoid wearing your jewelry while swimming, showering, or doing any activity that involves water.
In addition, you should also avoid exposing your jewelry to chemicals such as perfumes, lotions, and hairspray, as they can cause damage to the gold plating. It's best to apply these products before putting on your jewelry to avoid any contact.
Clean Your Jewelry Regularly
Regular cleaning is essential to keep your gold-plated jewelry looking shiny and new. You can clean your jewelry with a soft, lint-free cloth, or use a jewelry cleaning solution specifically designed for gold-plated jewelry. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as they can scratch or damage the gold plating.
