How to clean jewelry
Metals oxidize over time, exposure to air and sweat, therefore, it is very important to take care of them. However, since these metals, especially silver, are soft metals, they can be easily scratched and these scratches cannot be removed with a simple cloth. We recommend cleaning with a soft cloth, neutral soap (neutral pH) and hot water, paying particular attention if there are precious or semi-precious stones. When cleaning silver, it is best to use specific products designed for cleaning.
How to clean plated metals
Plated jewelry is extremely sensitive. To maintain the shine, it is necessary to clean with a soft cloth for polishing. However, be sure to clean your jewelry very carefully, as gilding can wear out. When cleaning, keep away from polishing liquids or strong chemicals. Also, the platings can lose color when you clean the surface too much.
NOTE: We do not guarantee that plated jewelry will last forever even if it is made in thickness. It should be borne in mind that the plating being a coating will wear out over time and that the jewels will lose their splendor. Although these jewels do not tarnish, you will still see the color go dull or change color. To extend the life of these jewels, it is recommended to remove the jewels before taking part in any activity, such as sports, cleaning, the sea, etc.
In order to avoid other chemical reactions and discoloration, please do not bring the jewelry in contact with creams, cosmetics and perfumes. Contact with water should also be avoided to ensure the longevity of the products.
In addition, your natural skin PH level also plays a role in determining how long the plating will last. Therefore, it is extremely important to take care of your jewelry.
We hope that you will appreciate your Nokike jewels for a long time.
