Gold Jewellery Care Instructions
At Bijor, our gold jewellery features high-quality gold plating over a durable base metal, offering the luxurious look of gold at an accessible price. While gold-plated jewellery is designed to last, it needs extra care to preserve its shine and finish.
Important to Know
Gold plating is delicate and will naturally fade over time, especially with frequent wear. Proper care can significantly extend its life and keep your pieces looking radiant.
Everyday Care
- Avoid contact with water, sweat, perfumes, lotions, and household cleaners, as these can cause the plating to tarnish or wear away more quickly.
- Always remove your jewellery before showering, swimming, sleeping, or exercising.
- Don’t wear your gold-plated pieces with other jewellery, especially metal items that may rub against them—this friction can wear down the gold layer faster.
- Store each piece separately in a soft pouch or lined box to protect it from scratches and moisture.
Cleaning Tips
- Gently wipe your jewellery with a soft, dry cloth after each wear to remove oils and residue.
- Avoid using polishing cloths, jewellery cleaners, or anything abrasive, as these can strip the plating.
- If needed, lightly dampen a soft cloth with warm water (no soap) and gently clean the surface. Dry thoroughly before storing.
Prolonging the Finish
- Rotate your jewellery—give each piece a break between wears to minimise wear and tear.
- Always apply makeup, perfume, and skincare products before putting on your jewellery.
Plated jewellery typically lasts for several months to a couple of years with proper care and usage. The exact lifespan depends on several factors, including how often they are worn and how well the jewellery is cared for. Some people have acidic skin which can also wear the jewellery faster.
With the right care, your Bijor gold-plated jewellery will continue to bring a golden glow to every look—time and time again.
