The lifespan of gold-plated jewellery depends on how well you take care of it. The surface of the gold-plated jewellery will wear out over time. We recommend that you remove your jewellery when you wash your hands and when you shower. It is important that your jewellery does not encounter perfumes and other beauty products. We recommend that you keep your jewellery in your Lea Hoyer box or in an airtight bag.
