Exposure to water, sweat, and soap can cause plating to fade. Avoid spraying perfume, hairspray and other chemicals onto jewellery — the alcohol and acids in perfume will cause permanent damage. If cosmetics are applied while wearing jewellery they will build up on the surface, dulling its appearance. Keep away from heat sources and do not submerge in water.

 

 

To clean, use a damp soft cloth and buff the item gently. Never use solvents, abrasive wadding or silver cleaning solution on plated jewellery.

It is best to store jewellery separately in individual pouches or jewellery boxes. Do not put several plated jewellery pieces in a single bin — they may rub against or scratch each other and cause plating to fade faster. With time and wear, sterling silver and brass gold-plated items will naturally become oxidised and eventually tarnish. Do not keep jewellery in direct sunlight. We highly recommend that you store your jewellery in the original LUSTRE pouch provided.
