23 Apr 2026
Gold Plated Stainless Steel
Gold-plated stainless steel is more durable than gold-plated silver, but still requires mindful care to preserve the finish.
What to Avoid
- Harsh chemicals (chlorine, cleaning agents)
- Abrasive scrubbing or rough materials
- Repeated friction that can wear down the plating
How to Store
- Store in a dry place
- Keep separate from harder metals to avoid scratches
- Use a soft pouch or jewelry box
How to Clean
- Wipe with a soft cloth after use
- Clean gently with mild soap and water if needed, then dry thoroughly
- Avoid polishing agents that could strip the gold layer
Best Practices
- More water-resistant than other plated metals, but still best to limit exposure
- Remove before heavy activity to reduce wear
- Clean regularly to maintain shine
General Jewelry Care Tips
- Last on, first off: put jewelry on after getting ready, and remove it before bed
- Avoid direct contact with chemicals and moisture whenever possible
- Clean gently and regularly rather than waiting for buildup
- Store thoughtfully to prevent scratches and tarnishing
