Gold plated jewellery and 1 gram gold jewellery are beautiful, affordable alternatives to real gold. However, since they are imitation jewellery, proper care is essential to maintain their shine and extend their life.
In this guide, we explain how to take care of gold plated and 1 gram gold jewellery with simple, practical tips that anyone can follow.
💛 Why Jewellery Care Is Important
Gold plated and 1 gram gold jewellery have a gold coating over a base metal. Exposure to water, sweat, perfumes, and chemicals can slowly wear off this coating.
With the right care:
- Jewellery lasts longer
- Shine remains intact
- Fading and tarnishing are reduced
🚫 Things to Avoid (Most Important)
❌ Avoid Water Contact
- Remove jewellery before bathing, swimming, or washing hands
- Water and moisture can damage the gold coating
❌ Avoid Perfumes & Chemicals
- Do not spray perfume directly on jewellery
- Avoid contact with deodorants, lotions, and hair spray
❌ Avoid Wearing While Sleeping
- Friction during sleep can cause scratches
- Chains and bangles may bend or lose polish
✅ How to Wear Jewellery the Right Way
✔ Wear jewellery after makeup and perfume
✔ Remove jewellery before changing clothes
✔ Handle with clean, dry hands
These small habits make a big difference.
🧼 How to Clean Gold Plated & 1 Gram Gold Jewellery
- Gently wipe jewellery with a soft dry cloth after use
- Do not wash with soap or water
- Never use brushes or abrasive materials
👉 Cleaning once after every use helps maintain shine.
📦 Proper Storage Tips
Proper storage is just as important as cleaning.
✔ Store jewellery in an airtight box
✔ Use separate pouches to avoid scratches
✔ Keep silica gel packets inside the box to absorb moisture
💎 Extra Care Tips for 1 Gram Gold Jewellery
Since 1 gram gold jewellery has a thicker gold coating:
- It is more durable than regular gold plated jewellery
