Gold Plated Jewelry

The Gold jewellery, as told, is gold plated, this means that there is a layer of gold on a base of sterling silver. This layer usually last 6 to 12 months, even longer if you take care of not washing your hands or take shower with your gold plated jewellery and not apply perfume and lotion.

The Silver Jewelry

The Silver jewellery will never change color, in a long time it can tarnish a bit, in this case you can easily clean it in this way: mix a few drops of dish soap with warm water. Dip a soft cloth in the solution and use it to rub the silver to remove the tarnish or you can use a toothbrush and gently rub your piece. Rinse with cool water and buff dry with another soft cloth.
