Care Tips
Your micron gold plated 925 sterling silver jewelry will oxidize (darken) over time due to exposure to different environments. If you take good care of your silver jewelry, it will oxidize at a slower rate and retain its shine for a longer time, so you can follow these maintenance suggestions;
- Store in an Airtight Box : Micron gold-plated jewelry should be stored in an airtight, soft-lined box or velvet pouch when not in use to prevent tarnishing and wear of the plating.
- Protect from Chemicals : Chemicals such as perfume, hairspray, creams can damage the coating. Waiting for these products to dry before wearing your jewelry will help the coating last longer.
- Avoid Contact with Water : It is important to remove micron gold plated jewelry when showering, swimming or washing dishes. Water can cause the plating to wear away or become dull over time.
- Clean with a Soft Cloth : Gently wiping with a microfiber or soft cotton cloth after each use will preserve the shine of your jewelry by removing accumulated oil and dirt on the surface. Avoid using harsh cloths or chemical cleaners.
- Be Careful When Wearing Your Jewelry : Micron gold plating has a more delicate structure; therefore , avoid situations that may cause it to hit or scratch hard surfaces.
- When Jeweler Cleaning is Necessary : Micron gold plated jewellery can be difficult to clean at home due to the thinness of the plating. When more extensive care is required, you can take it to a professional jeweler for special cleaning and polishing.
By paying attention to these suggestions, you can preserve the shine and quality of your micron gold-plated 925 sterling silver jewelry for a long time.
