So reinigen Sie vergoldeten Schmuck und bewahren den Glanz

Gold plated jewellery adds a touch of elegance to any ensemble, but over time, it may lose its shine due to tarnishing. Don't worry! In this article, we'll reveal effective methods to clean your gold-plated jewellery at home and offer valuable tips to preserve its radiance.

Does gold plated jewellery tarnish?

The truth is, even the best quality gold-plated jewellery will tarnish over time. So yes, it will tarnish. Gold-plated jewellery uses a layer of gold on top of other metals, such as sterling silver, and factors like exposure to moisture, oils from the skin, and environmental elements can contribute to tarnishing.

The good news is, with proper care and cleaning, you can prevent or minimise tarnishing, keeping your gold-plated jewellery looking its best.

FAQ

Why choose gold plated jewellery?

Gold plated jewellery offers the luxurious look of solid gold at a fraction of the cost. Priced between $20 to $100, it's an excellent choice for fashion-forward individuals who want to stay on top of current trends without worrying about making a huge investment in something that might not be in style for long.

Another reason to choose gold plated jewellery is its durability. Surprisingly, gold plated jewellery is often stronger than solid gold items. Gold is naturally soft, especially in higher karats. With proper care, your gold plated jewellery can resist tarnishing and discolouration, lasting for years to come.

How long does gold plated jewellery last?

Gold plated jewellery can last several years if properly cared for. The lifespan of gold plated jewellery depends on factors such as wear frequency, exposure to chemicals, and maintenance. Regular cleaning and careful handling can significantly extend its longevity.

Is gold plated jewellery hypoallergenic?

Gold plating is generally considered hypoallergenic. However, individuals with sensitive skin should be aware of the base metal used. At LYANG & CO., we prioritise the comfort of all our customers by using sterling silver as the base metal, which is also hypoallergenic.

What’s the difference between 18K gold plated and 14K gold plated jewellery?

18K gold plated jewellery has a higher gold content (75% pure gold) compared to 14K (58.3% pure gold). This results in a richer colour for 18K, while 14K offers a slightly more durable finish due to its higher alloy content.

So, if durability is a priority for you, 14K gold plated jewellery might be a better choice. If a more vibrant colour is a priority for you, then 18K plated jewellery is a better choice.
