Care of your Plated Jewellery

Plated jewellery will eventually fade or lose its colour due to natural wear. Unfortunately we are unable to replace worn plated jewellery as this is not a manufacturing fault. The length of time the plating will last depends on various factors such as how often the product is worn.

Storing them correctly will lengthen their life span and assure your jewellery lasts longer. It is also important to keep them separate from each other, to avoid any scratching or ta
