PURPOSE Jewelry Care Guide:

Important Jewelry Care Note: Polishing your gold or silver plated jewelry will remove the plating from the piece. Only use a polishing cloth for your pieces that are 100% brass and are not plated.

How to care for plated jewelry

Plated jewelry is identical to a piece that would be entirely made up of a precious metal but does require more care to allow for the piece to not lose its plating. 

• Apply perfume, hairspray or deodorant before wearing your jewelry as certain chemicals may damage the finish.
• Always remove your jewelry before swimming, bathing, doing household chores or using abrasive cleaners.
• If your jewelry requires further cleaning, use mild soap, water and a soft cloth. Rinse with clean water and pat dry.
• Make sure your jewelry is completely dry before storing.
