Follow these 5 care guidelines to look after your 18K gold plated jewellery
Lily Dia jewellery is designed for beauty and durability, but like all fine pieces, it requires a little care to keep its lustre and quality. With the right maintenance, your 18K gold plated jewellery will stay radiant and elegant for years to come.
1. Apply Skincare and Perfume Before Wearing Jewellery
Lotions, perfumes, and hair sprays can cause gold plating to tarnish over time. Always apply these products and let them dry completely before putting on your jewellery to protect its finish.
2. Remove Jewellery Before Bedtime
Avoid wearing your gold plated pieces while sleeping to prevent scratching and tangling. This helps preserve the delicate gold layer and maintains the shape and structure of intricate designs.
3. Keep Jewellery away from Chemicals
Exposure to chemicals can damage the gold plating and cause it to wear off prematurely. Take off your jewellery before using household cleaners.
4. Store Separately in a Soft Pouch or Lined Box
Prevent scratches by storing each piece separately in a soft pouch or a lined jewellery box. Keep your storage in a cool, dry place to avoid moisture build-up.
5. Handle with Care When Cleaning
Gently clean your jewellery with a soft, non-abrasive cloth, like the Lily Dia polishing cloth. If needed, use a tiny amount of mild soap and lukewarm water. Never scrub or use abrasive materials, as these can strip the gold layer.
