18k Gold Plated Endless Skies Illusion Hoops

Our 18k gold-plated jewellery is crafted with a sterling silver base, making it a premium alternative to traditional gold-plated pieces that use brass or stainless steel. With proper care and handling, your piece will retain its golden radiance for longer. 

How to store 18k gold plated jewellery  

To extend the life of your gold-plated jewellery, follow the below care advice: 

• Keep it dry: Store your jewellery in a dry, cool place away from humidity, as moisture can cause tarnishing of the sterling silver beneath the plating. 
• Use a soft pouch or lined jewellery box: Prevent scratches and friction by keeping each piece separate. Soft cloth pouches or anti-tarnish jewellery boxes work best. 
• Avoid exposure to chemicals: Perfumes, lotions, hairsprays, and household cleaning agents can accelerate the wear of gold plating. Always put jewellery on last when getting ready. 
• Remove before water exposure: Since sterling silver is prone to tarnishing and gold plating can fade with moisture, take off your jewellery before showering, swimming, or exercising. 

How to clean 18k gold plated jewellery  

• Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth – After each wear, use a microfiber or jewellery polishing cloth to remove oils and residue. Avoid abrasive materials, as they can wear down the gold layer. 
• Limit water exposure – Unlike solid gold or gold vermeil, gold-plated jewellery should not be soaked. If needed, lightly dampen a cloth with lukewarm water and carefully wipe the jewellery, ensuring it's fully dry afterward. 
• Avoid silver polish and harsh cleaners which may strip away the gold plating. Instead, stick to dry polishing or mild cleaning when necessary. 
• If your jewellery starts to lose its shine, gently buff it with a clean cloth to restore its lustre without damaging the plating. 
• Rotate your pieces – Gold plating naturally wears over time, so consider alternating your jewellery to minimise excessive wear on any single piece.
