How to Take Care of Your Gold Plated Jewellery
At Freya Rose, our demi-fine jewellery collections are crafted with the utmost care and designed to be worn, loved and treasured. Whether you’re styling an everyday ensemble or elevating an occasion look, gold plated jewellery brings an effortless elegance and timeless appeal. However, to preserve its radiant finish and ensure your pieces remain heirloom-worthy, proper care is essential.
1. What Is Gold Plated Jewellery?
Before diving into care tips, it’s important to understand whatgold plated jewellery actually is. Unlike solid gold, gold plated pieces feature a fine layer of gold bonded to a base metal—often sterling silver or brass. This allows for the luxurious appearance of gold, while remaining accessible and wearable. At Freya Rose, we use 18ct gold vermeil, which is a thicker, more durable form of gold plating over sterling silver—ideal for achieving both beauty and longevity.

2. Avoid Contact with Water, Perfume and Chemicals
To keep yourgold plated jewellery looking its best, avoid direct contact with water, perfume, lotions, or any household cleaning products. Moisture and chemicals can cause the gold layer to fade or tarnish more quickly. Always remove your jewellery before showering, swimming or applying beauty products. A simple habit like putting your pieces on last and taking them off first can make all the difference.

3. Store It Correctly
How you store yourgold plated jewellery can significantly impact its condition. We recommend keeping each piece in a soft pouch or lined jewellery box—ideally one that prevents items from touching one another, as friction can cause surface wear. Avoid humid areas like bathrooms, and instead store your jewellery in a cool, dry space to help maintain its lustre.

4. Clean with Care
Cleaning gold plated jewellery requires a gentle approach. Use a soft, dry microfibre or jewellery cloth to lightly polish the surface and restore its shine. Avoid abrasive materials or chemical cleaners, which can strip away the delicate gold layer. A careful wipe after each wear helps remove any natural oils or pollutants that may have settled on the surface.

While our pieces are made to be worn and loved,gold plated jewellery should be treated as you would a fine garment—with consideration and care. Avoid wearing it during heavy-duty tasks, workouts or activities that could expose it to knocks and pressure.
