Gold-plated jewelry offers the beauty of gold at a more accessible price — but it needs a little care to keep its shine lasting for years. At Bebek Jewels, our unique artisanal pieces are created in small batches, using recycled metals plated with 21k gold. Each piece is waterproof thanks to a special lacquer that protects it from tarnishing when exposed to water — something that sets us apart from many other brands.
Still, proper jewelry care ensures your treasures stay radiant. Here’s how to keep your gold-plated jewelry looking its best:
✨Keep Jewelry Away from Chemicals
Perfumes, lotions, hairsprays, cleaning agents, and even hand sanitizers contain harsh chemicals that can dull the finish of gold plating. Apply your beauty products first, and let them dry before putting on your jewelry.
✨Protect from Heat
High temperatures can affect the plating and finish of your jewelry. Avoid leaving your pieces in direct sunlight, inside a hot car, or near heaters.
✨Store in a Cool, Dry Place
When you’re not wearing your jewelry, keep it stored in a jewelry box, pouch, or airtight container. A soft pouch helps protect pieces from scratches and keeps moisture away.
⚜️Moisture: The General Rule vs. Bebek Jewels’ Advantage
In general, gold-plated jewelry should be kept away from water and moisture, as exposure can accelerate tarnishing. However, Bebek Jewels pieces are uniquely waterproof. Our special lacquer coating means you don’t need to worry about the occasional splash or daily wear — your jewelry is designed to resist tarnish from water exposure.
✨Refreshing the Shine with a Polishing Cloth
Even with the best care, jewelry can sometimes lose its luster. As a rule of thumb, if you ever feel the sheen has reduced, simply use a jewelry polishing cloth. These cloths are inexpensive, easy to use, and extremely effective at bringing back that golden shine.
