Remove before water contact — showers, swimming, or heavy rain. Quick drizzles are fine, prolonged exposure is the #1 cause of fading.
Apply last, remove first — perfume, deodorant, and body spray should go on before you put this on, not after.
Wipe after wear — a soft, dry cloth removes sweat and moisture that sits on the plating.
Store in the pouch — keep it dry and away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Skip harsh chemicals — no jewellery cleaner, chlorine, or bleach. A soft wipe is all it needs.
Following these steps takes 30 seconds a day and meaningfully extends how long your piece looks brand new — most fading isn't a defect, it's daily exposure that any gold-plated piece is sensitive to.
