Keeping Your Gold Plated Pieces Shining
One question we get a lot at the studio is, "How can I keep my jewellery looking as good as the day I bought it?" We understand. There is nothing quite like the shine of a new piece. Learning how to clean gold plated jewellery at home doesn't require expensive kits or harsh chemicals. In fact, most of what you need is likely already in your kitchen cabinet.
At Upasana Jewels, we use high-quality stainless steel bases with an anti-tarnish finish to ensure your pieces stand the test of time. However, even the best jewellery needs a little love. Whether you are wearing our new arrivals or your long-time favourites, a gentle touch is the secret to longevity.
The Simple Cleaning Ritual
When your jewellery starts to look a bit dull, skip the harsh polishing creams. Instead, mix a few drops of mild liquid soap with warm water. Dip a soft cloth into the solution and gently wipe your piece. For intricate designs, use a soft-bristled toothbrush to lightly reach the crevices.
Always rinse with clean water and pat dry immediately with a lint-free cloth. Never leave your jewellery to air dry, as water spots can dull the finish. For those who love a bit of sparkle, our new arrivals are perfect for daily wear.
UPASANA JEWELS Gleve Eternal Radiance Stainless Steel Gold Kada – Anti-Tarnish Daily Wear Bangle with Brilliant CZ StonesBracelets₹450 The Gleve Eternal Radiance Kada is designed specifically for women who want that luxury look without the worry. It pairs beautifully with a crisp white shirt for the office or a silk kurti for a casual lunch.
Storage Habits That Save Your Shine
Storage is just as important as cleaning. We recommend storing your pieces in individual pouches or a lined jewellery box. When pieces rub against each other, they can scratch the gold plating. Since we offer necklaces and bracelets, try to keep your chains clasped so they don't tangle.
If you are wearing something like the iconic screw-motif bangle, make sure it is the last thing you put on before leaving the house. Perfumes, lotions, and hairsprays are the enemies of gold plating. Apply these first, let them dry, and then layer on your accessories.
The Iconic Crystal Screw-Motif Bangle Bracelet - Anti-Tarnish Gold Plated Stainless SteelBracelets₹379 This bangle is inspired by classic hardware designs. Because it is made from anti-tarnish gold-plated stainless steel, it handles daily wear brilliantly. It is a fantastic choice if you want something that looks expensive but is practical enough for a busy day.
What to Avoid
While our pieces are crafted for durability, gold plating is still a surface finish. Avoid wearing your jewellery while swimming or showering. Chlorine and salt water can break down the plating over time. Also, try to remove your rings before washing dishes or using heavy cleaning agents.
When to Wear Which Piece
Choosing the right piece for the right occasion makes all the difference. For office wear, stick to minimalist designs that don't distract. Our bangles and simple chains are ideal. For a Sangeet or a family gathering, you can afford to stack your bracelets or add a statement necklace to your ensemble.
Remember, jewellery is meant to be worn and enjoyed. If you follow these small steps, you will keep your collection looking fresh for years to come. We have free shipping across India and offer cash on delivery, so you can always find your next favourite piece right here. Happy styling!
