Your jewelry should always be the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off. We recommend gently wiping down your jewelry with a soft cloth after every wear and carefully washing with mild soap and water every now and then to protect the metal from the skin's natural oils. Be sure to gently dry with a soft cloth after cleaning. 

Every person's skin produces their own unique natural oils which can react differently to certain metals and plating.  Heavy wear and rough conditions will, of course, impact how your jewelry looks. Gold plated jewelry will naturally fade over time. There is no way to reverse this process. Gems Luxe is not responsible for natural wear. We stand by our products and our quality.
