To take care of plated jewelry, you should:Avoid getting the jewelry wet with water, soap, perfume, lotion and other chemicals. If the jewelry does get wet, wipe it immediately with a soft cloth.Avoid getting the jewelry wet with your sweat. Remove the jewelry when you are going to engage in some strenuous physical activity.Remove the plated jewelry when you sleep at night to reduce contact with bare skin.Store the jewelry in a dry place.

Do not store or keep several plated jewelry in a single bin. Several plated jewelry items in a single bin will rub or scratch against each other and will cause the plating to fade faster.
