Star Gold Plated Hoop Earrings Medium

Our gold jewellery is coated in approximately one micron of 10-carat gold plate on a brass base. We use gold plating to keep our pieces both high quality and affordable, for long-term wear. For more information about the materials we use in our jewellery, read our jewellery material guide.

We add a protective e-coat on our gold-plated jewellery, which helps preserve the colour of the plating and prevent early discolouration occurring from moisture or oxygen exposure. To prevent tarnishing and keep your jewellery in good condition, polish with a soft lint-free cloth and store in a protective jewellery box or cloth bag. We recommend removing your jewellery before showering or bathing to keep it looking its best, and it's best to keep away from water, chemicals and creams. For more in-depth advice, read our guide on how to prevent your jewellery from tarnishing.

Gentle cleaning with a soft, non-abrasive microfibre or lint-free cloth will keep your gold-plated jewellery looking its best. We suggest storing in a cloth bag or jewellery box when not being worn to prevent scratching or contact with moisture.
