How to Care for Gold-Plated Jewellery So It Lasts Longer

Gold-plated jewellery gives you a luxurious look at an affordable price, and with the right care it can stay beautiful for years. The key is a simple routine that protects the gold layer from damage. Here are our top jewellery care tips from the Zayr team.

Keep It Away From Water

Water, especially chlorinated or salt water, can wear down the gold plating over time. Always remove your jewellery before showering, swimming or washing dishes. This single habit makes the biggest difference in keeping pieces like the Zayr Cubic Zirconia Infinity Ring looking new.

Apply Perfume and Lotion First

Perfume, hairspray and lotions contain chemicals that can dull gold plating. Always apply these products before putting on your jewellery, and let them dry fully first.

Store Each Piece Separately

Storing jewellery loosely together causes scratches. Keep each piece in its own pouch or compartment. This is especially important for crystal pieces like the Zayr Majestic Floral Crystal Ring where the stones can scratch other items.

Wipe After Wearing

After each wear, gently wipe your jewellery with a soft, dry cloth to remove oils and sweat. Never use harsh cleaners or abrasive cloths on gold-plated pieces.

Give Your Jewellery a Rest

Rotating your jewellery and not wearing the same piece every single day helps extend its life. This is the perfect excuse to build a varied collection. Explore the full Zayr ring collection so you always have options.
