How to Care for Your 18K Gold-Plated Jewelry: Keep It Shining for Years
How to Care for Your 18K Gold-Plated Jewelry
18K gold-plated jewelry gives you the luxurious look of solid gold — without the steep price tag. But to keep your favorite Kiaana pieces shining bright, a little love and care goes a long way.
Here’s your complete guide to keeping your anti-tarnish beauties looking brand new.
1. Avoid Moisture, Perfume & Sweat
Gold plating is delicate, and exposure to moisture and chemicals can cause it to fade faster.
What to avoid:
- Showering or swimming with jewelry on
- Spraying perfume or deodorant directly on pieces
- Wearing during workouts or in humid conditions
💡 Pro Tip: Always put your jewelry on last, after applying your skincare, makeup, and perfume.
2. Store It Right (Not Just Anywhere!)
Don’t toss your jewelry in a drawer or pouch with other items. That’s how scratches and fading happen.
Instead, store in:
- Separate soft pouches or ziplock bags
- Original Kiaana boxes (they’re perfect for this!)
- A jewelry organizer with dividers
This prevents tangling, rubbing, and tarnishing.
3. Clean It Gently
Your Kiaana jewelry doesn’t need fancy products — just a little TLC.
Steps to clean gold-plated jewelry:
- Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth (like microfiber)
- For extra shine, dampen the cloth with warm water (no soap!)
- Let it air dry completely before storing
Avoid abrasive cloths, alcohol, or cleaners — they strip the gold layer.
4. Rotate Your Jewelry (Yes, Seriously)
We know you love your favorites — but wearing the same piece every day can wear it out faster. Rotate between a few go-to styles to keep each one in perfect shape.
✨ Bonus: You get to flex more of your Kiaana collection 😉
5. Know It’s Normal to See Fading Over Time
Even the best gold-plated jewelry — like Kiaana’s 18K collection — will slowly fade with daily wear. It’s completely normal, and part of the charm of a well-loved piece.
The good news? Our anti-tarnish coating extends your jewelry’s shine far longer than average plated options.
Final Thought: Treat It Like Gold, Always
Your jewelry tells your story — from first dates to dream vacations. So treat it with love, and it’ll glow with you every step of the way.
