Care and Maintenance:
Gold-plated jewellery should be worn with care to preserve the finish. Avoid water, perfume, lotions, chlorine, salt water, cleaning products, swimming, showering, and intense physical activity while wearing the piece.
Put jewellery on after perfumes and moisturisers have fully absorbed. Wipe gently after wear with a soft, dry cloth to remove oils and residue. Store separately in a pouch, zip bag, or lined jewellery box to help prevent scratching, fading, and premature tarnishing.
Opal and Pearl are more delicate than many gemstones. Avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, prolonged heat, heavy impact, and long exposure to water. Do not use abrasive polishing cloths on gold-plated surfaces, as this can wear down the gold layer over time.
