GUIDE - Extend the shelf life of your gilded jewelry!

With Beadhouse Are we very much in sustainability and extending the life of the things we have - so how do you best care for your jewelry? Below you will find tips and tips for looking after your jewelry so that the gildings last longer. This is true both Too gilded silver and gilded brass.

Tip # 1 - Avoid Water

If you want your gilding to last long, it is important to remember that they do not tolerate water very well. Take them off before you go to shower or need to swim. Gold -plated jewelry also does not withstand rain very well. If they get very wet, be sure to wipe them thoroughly afterwards.

Tip # 2 - Avoid Products

Products such as sunscreen, body lotion and perfume also wear off heavily on the gildings. Make sure the products are completely dried before putting on your jewelry.

TIP # 3 - Avoid oxygen

If you store your jewelry in an open bowl, the oxygen from the air can slowly break down the gilding. If it's jewelry you don't use every day, you can store them in a plastic bag - it will also extend the life of the gilding!

A good advice!

Is the gilding worn off completely? Most jewelry can be gilded again. Find a gilded in the vicinity and talk to them and your old jewelry can bring new life.
