When purchasing gold plated jewelry, keep in mind that the plating is not permanent. Over time, due to natural processes, the plating may experience different coloration, and eventually you will need to re-plate the jewelry piece for the full gold glow effect. Please do not wear your plated jewelry when taking shower, swimming, working with chemicals or sharp items that can scratch your jewelry. Water, chlorine and chemicals can cause the gold layer to wear off completely, therfore you should definitely refrain from doing so.
