Simple Care Tips to Increase the Durability of Your Jewelry Plating

Jewelry plating is more than just an accessory. It has the power to transform an entire outfit and add personality to your look. Alice Be pieces are crafted with high-quality plating, featuring multiple layers of 18K gold and rhodium. Our jewelry is plated with 5 to 10 microns, depending on the design and intended use, ensuring beauty, durability, and a refined finish.

However, to keep your pieces looking beautiful and shiny for longer, a few simple care tips are essential:

• Avoid getting your jewelry wet, especially in seawater or pool water, as salt and chlorine can damage the plating.

• Remove your jewelry when washing your hands or showering. Soaps and cleaning products contain chemicals that can build up in small spaces and gradually wear down the finish.

• When using creams, perfumes, sunscreens, oils, or any cosmetics, wait a few minutes before putting on your accessories. These products can dull the shine of your pieces.

• Avoid wearing your jewelry during workouts or physical activities, as sweat and friction can accelerate wear.

• Avoid dropping your jewelry, as impacts can loosen stones, cause scratches, or lead to breakage.

• Store your pieces separately to prevent tangling, scratching, or damage caused by friction with other jewelry.

• Clean your plated jewelry occasionally. Use lukewarm water, mild soap, and a soft toothbrush to gently clean your pieces.

• Most importantly, dry your jewelry thoroughly after cleaning, as moisture left on the surface can affect the plating over time.

With proper care, your Alice Be jewelry will maintain its shine, elegance, and durability, allowing you to enjoy each piece for many years.
