Our 18K PVD-plated pieces are waterproof and anti-tarnish, but a gentle clean keeps them at their brightest. Here's exactly how.
PVD plating bonds gold to stainless steel at a molecular level, so it's far more durable than ordinary electroplating. A light routine is all it needs.
The 4-step clean
1
Mix a gentle bath
Add a drop of mild dish soap to a bowl of warm (not hot) water. Skip anything abrasive or alcohol-based.
2
Soak briefly
Let the piece sit for 3–5 minutes to loosen oils and product buildup from skin and perfume.
3
Wipe softly
Use a soft microfibre cloth or a baby-soft toothbrush to lift residue from settings and links.
4
Dry completely
Pat dry and let it air out fully before storing. Trapped moisture is the enemy of any finish.
A soft microfibre cloth is all most pieces ever need.
Do & don't
Do put jewellery on last — after perfume, lotion and hairspray.
Don't use ultrasonic cleaners or jewellery dips on plated pieces.
