For our plated gold over sterling silver jewelry:
1. Avoid getting the jewelry wet with water, soap, perfume, lotion and other chemicals. If the jewelry does get wet, wipe it immediately with a soft cloth
2. Avoid getting the jewelry wet with sweat. Remove the jewelry when you are going to engage in strenuous physical activity.
3. Remove the plated jewelry when you sleep at night to reduce contact with bare skin.
4. Store the jewelry in a dry place. Also, it is best to store the plated jewelry separate from other plated jewelry (either you keep them in individual plastic pouches or separate them in the jewelry box).
Note:
In general, plating can last for up to two years with proper care. The best way to deal with tarnished pieces is to have the piece replated when required.
Please inquire as we can offer courtesy replating of jewelry within 1 year of purchase, you would just cover
shipping fees to and from our offices. Email us at info@maelangjewels.com for more info.
