Our gold-plated pieces are coated with a layer of gold bonded to metal for lasting beauty and everyday wear. With proper care, your plated jewelry maintains its radiant finish longer and ages beautifully. Gold-plated pieces last longer with soft wear and can always be re-plated.
Plating naturally softens over time, especially in areas with frequent friction (ring shanks, clasp areas, and bracelet edges). This is normal and part of the lifecycle of plated jewelry.
✔ Put jewelry on last (after lotion, perfume, oils)
✔ Remove before working out or swimming
✔ Wipe gently after wearing to remove oils
Do NOT use traditional polishing cloths—they can remove plating.
Instead:
1. Use mild soap + warm water
2. Gently wipe
3. Rinse
4. Pat dry
Avoid: abrasive sponges, chemical cleaners, toothpaste and ultrasonic cleaners.
✔ Always store individually
✔ Keep in a soft pouch or lined box
✔ Avoid tossing into mixed jewelry bowls
Gold plated pieces deserve softness—stored well, they last significantly longer.
If finish softens over time, consider a re-plating service. Most local jewelers offer this affordably, or please contact us info@shopcocoaari.com
Gold-plated jewelry is meant to wear with your life—soft aging is part of its story.
