How long will my plating last?
This question is a bit tricky to answer as it comes down to lifestyle and how you look after your jewellery.
How do I take care of my gold-plated jewellery?
A few basic rules apply: take rings and bracelets off when you need to do something that requires a lot of work with your hands. Wipe your jewellery with a soft cloth after a day of wear, and make sure to store it in a proper location.
