18K gold plated jewelry brings the elegance of real gold to your everyday wardrobe—without the heavy price tag. But just like any fine accessory, it needs a little TLC to stay radiant and last longer.
At honeybai, we craft our jewelry using surgical-grade stainless steel and premium 18K gold plating to ensure water resistance, durability, and anti-tarnish performance. With the right care, your favorite pieces can maintain their glow for years.
Here are the top 5 ways to care for your 18K gold plated jewelry and keep it looking as flawless as the day you got it.
✨ 1. Keep It Dry Whenever Possible
While honeybai jewelry is designed to be water-resistant, exposure to moisture—like perfumes, sweat, or soaps—can still reduce the life of the gold plating over time.
Pro Tip:
Always remove your jewelry before:
-
Showering or swimming
-
Working out or sweating heavily
-
Applying lotion, perfume, or hair products
Bonus: Store a soft towel or pouch in your bathroom to quickly take off and protect your pieces before exposure.
✨ 2. Store It Smartly
Proper storage can dramatically increase the lifespan of your jewelry. When tossed together, pieces can scratch or tangle, especially those with delicate chains or intricate textures.
Pro Tip:
-
Use individual pouches or anti-tarnish bags
-
Keep jewelry in a cool, dry drawer or box
-
Avoid direct sunlight or humidity
honeybai tip: We recommend using a velvet-lined jewelry organizer or travel roll for easy and safe storage.
✨ 3. Clean Gently and Regularly
Even with daily wear, 18K gold plated jewelry can collect dust, oils, and residues that dull its shine. But cleaning doesn’t mean harsh scrubbing!
How to clean your jewelry:
-
Use a soft microfiber or cotton cloth
-
Gently wipe your jewelry after each wear
-
For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water and a mild soap (no harsh chemicals)
Avoid: Toothpaste, baking soda, or rough brushes—these can erode the thin gold layer over time.
✨ 4. Avoid Contact with Harsh Chemicals
Household cleaners, detergents, chlorine, and alcohol-based products can damage or discolor gold plated jewelry. Protect your pieces from unnecessary exposure.
Pro Tip:
Take off your jewelry before:
-
Cleaning your home
-
Applying hand sanitizers or sprays
-
Using skincare with retinol, acids, or strong actives
✨ 5. Rotate Your Jewelry – Don’t Overwear
Even high-quality gold plated jewelry like honeybai’s needs rest. Wearing the same piece every single day may reduce its lifespan.
Pro Tip:
Rotate your jewelry with different styles from your collection. Not only does this preserve each piece, but it also keeps your outfits feeling fresh and elevated.
