Our gold-plated jewellery is crafted on a waterproof stainless steel base, so it’s safe for everyday water contact. To keep it looking new, avoid direct contact with perfume or lotion, and store each piece separately in a pouch away from sunlight. Follow the simple habits below and your jewellery can keep its shine for years instead of months.
Why Does Gold-Plated Jewellery Lose Its Shine?
Gold-plated jewellery is made by coating a base metal, such as stainless steel, with a thin layer of gold. Over time, everyday exposure to sweat, air and skincare products can gradually wear down this layer. Chandranita Jewels’ waterproof stainless steel base resists tarnish and water damage far better than brass or copper bases, but a few daily habits still help the gold plating stay brilliant for longer.
6 Simple Rules to Make Your Jewellery Last Longer
- Put it on last, take it off first. Apply perfume, lotion and hairspray before wearing your jewellery, not after.
- It’s waterproof. Our stainless steel jewellery is safe for showering, swimming and everyday water contact — no need to remove it.
- Avoid direct sunlight for long periods. Heat can speed up discolouration of the plating.
- Store pieces separately. Letting metal pieces rub against each other can scratch the plating.
- Wipe after wearing. A soft, dry cloth removes sweat and oils before you put a piece away.
- Use an airtight pouch or box. Limiting air exposure slows down tarnishing significantly.
How Chandranita Jewels’ Waterproof Stainless Steel Construction Helps
Every piece from Chandranita Jewels is crafted from a skin-friendly, hypoallergenic waterproof stainless steel base designed for everyday wear. This construction resists water, sweat and daily friction far better than standard gold-plated jewellery, so your favourite pieces keep their shine through repeated wear and washes. That said, the care habits above still help you get the longest possible life from every piece.
How to Store Your Jewellery Between Wears
Store jewellery flat or hanging, away from direct sunlight and humidity. Keeping each piece in its own soft pouch or a lined jewellery box prevents scratches and reduces exposure to air, which is one of the biggest causes of tarnishing. If you live in a humid climate, a small silica gel packet inside your jewellery box can help absorb excess moisture.
