At By Siéne, we craft our gold-plated pieces by electroplating 18k/14k gold onto durable stainless steel, high-quality brass, or 925 sterling silver. While we take great care in ensuring longevity, metals like silver and gold are delicate and can naturally fade over time due to oxidation.

Jewelry may experience discoloration due to various factors, including moisture, chemicals, frequent cleaning, storage conditions, and even skin pH levels. Gold-plated jewellery requires extra care to maintain its appearance and longevity.

We highly recommend reading our Jewelry Care Guide to keep your pieces looking their best.

Store your jewelry in a secure pouch, box, or airtight container in a dry, humidity-free environment, away from direct sunlight and heat.

Polish regularly with a microfibre or jewellery polishing cloth to remove chemical residues, tarnish, and restore shine.

Avoid contact with perfume, lotions, hand sanitiser, chlorine, and saltwater, as these can accelerate tarnishing.

Ensure your hands are clean and dry before handling gold-plated jewelry.

Remove jewelry before sleeping, bathing, swimming & working out to help maintain its color and finish.

Handle gemstones with extra care to prevent chipping or dislodging. Store them properly to avoid damage.

Avoid impact with hard surfaces or other jewellery to prevent scratches, chips, or broken chains. Rings, in particular, are prone to wear due to frequent contact with surfaces.

If you experience skin irritation, applying a thin layer of clear nail polish to the jewelry may help create a protective barrier.
