Why Your Jewellery Needs a Little Extra Love

At our studio, a question we get a lot is how to keep gold-plated pieces looking as brilliant as the day they arrived. We know the struggle—you love a piece, wear it everywhere, and suddenly it loses that signature sheen. The good news is that learning how to maintain gold plated jewellery is actually quite simple if you build a few small habits.

The Secret to Everyday Brilliance

Most of our newer collections, like our latest arrivals, use premium-grade stainless steel as a base. This is a for durability. We recently launched the Gleve Eternal Radiance Stainless Steel Gold Kada, which is built to handle your daily routine while keeping its shine. Because it is anti-tarnish, it handles sweat and humidity much better than traditional alloy-based jewellery.

Styling and Storage Tips

When you are getting ready for the office, a simple bangle adds just enough polish without being loud. Pair the Gleve Kada with a crisp shirt or a simple kurta. If you are heading to a sangeet or a family dinner, you might want to stack it with something a bit more intricate, like The Iconic Crystal Screw-Motif Bangle. This piece is inspired by classic hardware designs and looks sophisticated even when worn solo.

When you take your jewellery off at night, please don't just toss it into a heap. Store each piece in its own little pouch or a separate compartment in your jewellery box. This prevents the crystals from scratching against each other. If you want to expand your collection, you can always browse our necklaces to find pieces that complement these bangles.

Cleaning Without the Chemicals

You really do not need expensive cleaners. A soft, dry microfiber cloth is your best friend. After a long day, give your bracelets and chains a quick wipe to remove any perfume or lotion residue. If they look a bit dull, a damp cloth with the mildest drop of soap works wonders, but make sure to dry them completely afterward. Never use harsh brushes or chemical dips, as these can strip the gold plating right off.

Things to Avoid

  • Avoid spraying perfume directly onto your jewellery.
  • Take your pieces off before a swim or a heavy workout.
  • Let your lotions dry on your skin for a few minutes before putting on your rings or bracelets.

Keep Your Collection Growing

We believe jewellery should be worn and enjoyed, not kept locked away in a safe. By following these simple steps, your pieces will stay radiant for years.

Questions we often get

Can I wear my gold-plated jewellery in the shower?+

While our stainless steel pieces are water-resistant, we recommend taking them off before showering or swimming to keep the gold plating and crystals sparkling for longer.

How often should I clean my gold-plated jewellery?+

A quick wipe with a soft, dry cloth after every wear is usually enough to keep oils and dust from building up.

What is the best way to store gold-plated pieces?+

Keep them in a dry place, ideally in individual pouches or a lined jewellery box, to prevent scratches and exposure to moisture.
