Rhodium-Plated & 14kt Gold-Plated Pieces

Thank you for choosing our jewellery! To ensure the longevity and beauty of your rhodium-plated and 14kt gold-plated pieces, here are some simple but effective care tips. With the right attention, your jewellery will stay radiant and last for years to come.

General Care Tips for Rhodium-Plated & Gold-Plated Jewellery:

  1. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Chemicals found in perfumes, lotions, cleaning products, and even sweat can weaken the plating. Always put on your jewellery after applying any beauty products, and remove it before cleaning or swimming.
  2. Remove Before Sleeping or Exercising : Prolonged contact with sweat, oils, and friction from movement can cause the plating to wear down more quickly. It’s best to take off your pieces before working out or going to bed.
  3. Store Safely: When not wearing your jewellery, store each piece in a soft pouch or lined jewellery box to prevent scratches and tangling. Keeping your jewellery away from direct sunlight and moisture will also help preserve its shine.
  4. Clean Gently: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe your jewellery after each wear. For a deeper clean, use a mild soap solution with lukewarm water, but avoid soaking the jewellery for too long. After cleaning, make sure to dry your pieces thoroughly.
  5. Professional Replating: Over time, it’s natural for the plating to wear off, especially in areas of frequent contact. If you notice dullness or fading, consider having your jewellery professionally replated to restore its original brilliance.

  • Prevent Tarnishing: While rhodium plating resists tarnishing, the Silver underneath may tarnish if the rhodium layer wears off. Regular gentle cleaning helps prevent this.
