How to care for jewellery?

How to care for jewellery? Gold plated jewellery will eventually fade with time. However, it may do so at a different speed, depending on how you store and wear your jewellery. There are a few things you can do to slow down that process. 

Here are a few tried tips which may help. First of all, store your jewellery separately, as different metals can interact with each other. You can use jewellery boxes, fabric flat pouches, or just a piece of fabric. Avoid storing it next to other fashion jewellery pieces or watches with leather straps. It is always good to remove your jewellery when applying perfumes, hairsprays and lotions, even though quite often we are used to apply them last.  Instead, put your jewellery on last, when you get dressed. Avoid contact with salted water, chemicals and detergents. Ensure that you rinse off any chemicals that come into contact with your jewellery straight away.
