How to Clean and Maintain Gold-Plated Jewellery

Gold-plated jewellery gives you the rich look of gold at a fraction of the price. With the right care, your jhumkas will keep their shine for years. Here's how to protect your pieces.

Daily Care: The 30-Second Rule

After every wear, wipe your jhumkas gently with a soft, dry cotton cloth. This removes sweat, oils, and dust before they can dull the plating. Make it a habit — 30 seconds now saves you from tarnish later.

How to Clean Gold-Plated Jhumkas

For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water with a drop of mild dish soap. Dip a soft cloth (never a brush) in the solution, wipe gently, then rinse with clean water and pat dry immediately. Never soak your jewellery — prolonged water exposure weakens plating.

Smart Storage

Store each pair separately in a soft pouch or lined box. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Don't toss jhumkas together — they scratch each other. Silica gel packets in your jewellery box help absorb moisture.

What to Avoid

Keep gold-plated jewellery away from perfume, hairspray, and lotions — apply these before putting on your jhumkas. Remove jewellery before swimming, showering, or exercising. Chlorine and sweat are plating's worst enemies.
