How to Clean and Maintain Your 18k Gold-Plated Earrings

18k gold-plated earrings bring affordable elegance to any look. At Hengdian Jewelry, our earrings feature AAA cubic zirconia and real gold-plated brass in trendy designs updated weekly. Proper care keeps them dazzling. 

Why Care Matters

18k gold-plated earrings, like Hengdian Jewelry’s, have a thin gold layer over brass, making them prone to tarnishing from sweat or chemicals. Regular cleaning and maintenance preserve their shine and longevity.

Cleaning Your Earrings

Light Cleaning

Use a soft, lint-free cloth for daily upkeep to remove oils and dirt.

• Gently wipe earrings, focusing on ear hooks.
• Avoid silver polishing cloths, which can damage plating.

Deep Cleaning

For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution, safe for earrings without glued gems.

• Mix lukewarm water with a drop of mild dish soap.
• Soak earrings for 5–10 minutes. For hollow designs, like Hengdian’s cherry studs, wipe with a damp cloth instead.
• Gently scrub with a soft toothbrush, rinse, and dry with a lint-free cloth.

Warning: Avoid harsh cleaners like vinegar or baking soda, which can strip plating.

Maintenance Tips

• Avoid Chemicals: Remove earrings before applying perfume, lotion, or hairspray.
• Limit Water: Don’t wear earrings while showering or swimming to prevent fading.
• Wipe After Wear: Clean with a soft cloth post-use to remove oils, as advised by Larsen Jewellery.
• Inspect Regularly: Check for plating wear and consult a jeweler for re-plating if needed.

Storage Tips

• Store in a soft-lined jewelry box or pouch, like those from Hengdian Jewelry, to prevent scratches.
• Keep in a cool, dry place, away from humidity.
• Store each pair separately to avoid friction.
