Why Gold-Plated Jewelry Needs Extra Love
Gold-plated jewelry offers the luxury of gold without the luxury price tag — making it one of the most popular choices for style lovers in Canada. Whether you own a dainty layered necklace or an eye-catching statement bracelet, keeping your pieces looking brand-new takes just a little care and attention.
In this guide, we’ll share expert tips to protect your gold-plated jewelry so it keeps its shine for years to come — even with daily wear.
1. Understand What Makes Gold-Plated Jewelry Unique
Gold-plated jewelry has a thin layer of real gold bonded to a durable base metal such as stainless steel or brass. At Glozya, we use 18K gold plating over stainless steel, making our pieces waterproof, hypoallergenic, and tarnish-resistant — perfect for everyday wear.
However, like all plated jewelry, the gold layer can wear away over time if not cared for properly. This is why a few simple habits can make all the difference.
2. Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Everyday substances can damage gold plating:
- Perfumes & lotions — apply them before putting on jewelry.
- Cleaning agents — remove jewelry before using household cleaners.
- Chlorinated water — avoid wearing pieces in pools or hot tubs.
💡 Tip: If you love waterproof pieces, explore our stainless steel bracelets — they’re designed for durability while maintaining style.
3. Remove Before Sweating or Showering
While our 18K gold-plated pieces are waterproof, constant exposure to water and sweat can dull the shine over time.
- Remove jewelry before intense workouts.
- Take off rings and bracelets before long showers or spa days.
For a worry-free option during active days, check out our adjustable bracelets — comfortable, secure, and easy to style.
4. Store Jewelry the Right Way
Improper storage can cause scratching and tangling.
- Use soft pouches or lined boxes for individual pieces.
- Hang necklaces separately to avoid knots.
- Keep them away from humid areas like bathrooms.
Our minimalist rings look even better when kept scratch-free.
5. Clean Gently & Regularly
Avoid abrasive cleaning methods — they can strip the gold layer. Instead:
- Mix mild soap with lukewarm water.
- Soak the jewelry for 1–2 minutes.
- Gently wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth.
- Pat dry completely before storing.
If you own delicate pendant necklaces, this gentle cleaning method will help preserve their beauty.
6. Consider Re-Plating Over Time
Even with the best care, gold-plated jewelry may need a refresh after a few years. Re-plating is affordable and can make your favorite piece look brand new again — especially if it’s a meaningful gift or part of your signature style.
