Gold plated jewelry is the perfect blend of elegance and affordability—but to keep it looking radiant, proper care is essential. At Aapsarha, we craft jewelry meant to last, and with just a little attention, your favorite pieces can stay golden for years to come.
Here’s your ultimate guide on how to care for gold plated jewelry and keep it tarnish-free.
🌟 What Is Gold Plated Jewelry?
Gold plated jewelry is made by coating a base metal (like brass or stainless steel) with a thin layer of real gold—typically 14K, 18K, or 24K. This gives you the luxurious look of fine jewelry without the high price.
But since it’s a thin layer, gold plating needs gentle handling to maintain its shine.
💛 Why Does Gold Plated Jewelry Tarnish?
While gold itself doesn’t tarnish, the metals underneath can react with air, moisture, sweat, or chemicals. Over time, this causes dullness or dark spots—especially if the jewelry isn’t cared for properly.
That’s why many modern pieces now come with anti-tarnish coatings—like ours at Aapsarha—to increase durability and resist oxidation.
✅ Top Tips to Keep Gold Plated Jewelry Tarnish-Free
1. Store It the Right Way
- Keep jewelry in a soft pouch or a dry, airtight box.
- Use anti-tarnish strips or silica gel packets to absorb moisture.
- Always separate pieces to avoid scratching.
2. Avoid Water, Sweat & Chemicals
- Remove jewelry before swimming, showering, or working out.
- Keep away from lotions, perfumes, hairsprays, and cleaning products.
- Gold plating can fade faster when exposed to harsh chemicals.
3. Wipe It After Every Wear
- Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe away oils, dirt, and moisture.
- Avoid abrasive cloths or polishing agents—they can strip the gold layer.
4. Don’t Sleep in Your Jewelry
- While it’s tempting to keep it on, sleeping with your jewelry can cause unnecessary friction and wear.
5. Rotate Your Pieces
- Give each piece a break—don’t wear the same jewelry every day.
- Rotating helps reduce exposure and prolongs life.
