Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is gold-plated jewelry?
Gold-plated jewelry is made by applying a thin layer of gold over a base metal, such as stainless steel or brass. This gives the jewelry the luxurious appearance of solid gold at a fraction of the price. The gold plating is typically done through an electroplating process to ensure durability and a smooth, high-quality finish.

2. How durable is gold-plated jewelry?
Gold-plated jewelry is fairly durable, but the gold layer can wear off over time with frequent use. To extend the life of your gold-plated pieces, avoid contact with harsh chemicals, moisture, and physical abrasion. Proper care will help maintain the jewelry’s shine and prevent tarnishing.

3. How should I care for my gold-plated jewelry?
To ensure your gold-plated jewelry stays beautiful, we recommend the following care tips:

• Clean with a soft cloth to remove dirt or oils.

• Avoid wearing it while showering, swimming, or exercising to prevent exposure to sweat, water, and harsh chemicals.

• Store your jewelry in a dry place, away from humidity, in a soft pouch or jewelry box when not in use.

• Keep your gold-plated pieces separate from other jewelry to avoid scratching or rubbing.

4. Will gold-plated jewelry tarnish?
Gold-plated jewelry can tarnish over time, especially if it comes into contact with moisture, chemicals, or rough surfaces. However, the base metal under the gold plating (often brass or stainless steel) will not rust, and the gold layer will remain intact for a considerable period with proper care.

5. Can I wear gold-plated jewelry every day?
Gold-plated jewelry can be worn every day, but it may lose some of its gold plating over time with frequent wear. To help protect your pieces, try to wear them occasionally, or avoid exposing them to chemicals, moisture, or rough conditions.

6. Is gold-plated jewelry hypoallergenic?
Gold plating is generally safe for most people, but the base metal underneath (like brass or stainless steel) may contain small amounts of alloys that could irritate sensitive skin. If you have particularly sensitive skin, look for jewelry that specifically mentions being hypoallergenic.

7. How do I know what size gold-plated ring or bracelet to order?
We provide a size guide for rings and bracelets on each product page to help you find the perfect fit. Simply measure your finger or wrist and refer to our sizing chart for guidance. If you need further help, feel free to reach out to our customer service team.

8. How can I keep my gold-plated jewelry shiny?
To maintain the shine of your gold-plated jewelry, gently polish it with a jewelry cloth designed for gold. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or jewelry dips, as these can damage the delicate gold layer. Regularly cleaning your pieces and storing them properly will also help preserve their luster.

9. Can I get my gold-plated jewelry customized?
Yes! We offer engraving services on select pieces of our gold-plated jewelry. If you’re interested in personalizing your item, please check the product page for customization options or contact our customer service team for more details.

10. Can I shower or swim with my gold-plated jewelry?
While it’s safe for brief exposure to water, we recommend removing your gold-plated jewelry before showering, swimming, or participating in activities that involve sweat or harsh chemicals (like perfumes or lotions). Prolonged exposure to water and chemicals can cause the gold plating to wear off more quickly.
