How to Care for Gold-Plated and Kundan Jewellery at Home

Gold-plated and Kundan jewelry are classic treasures, appreciated for their deep luster, detailed artistry, and cultural grace. Be it for a wedding, a festive occasion, or impactful earrings, these items need suitable attention to keep their appeal over time.

At Tazori Collection, we create jewelry that marries opulence with value, letting you have a high-end look without sacrifice. With simple home maintenance, your gold-plated and Kundan pieces can remain bright and sophisticated for an extended period. Below is a thorough manual to assist you in looking after your valued items with ease.

Understanding Gold-Plated & Kundan Jewellery

Gold-plated jewellery features a layer of gold coating over a base metal, giving it a luxurious appearance at an accessible price.
Kundan jewellery uses glass or faux stones set in a gold-polished or antique metal base, often paired with pearls or beads.

Both styles are delicate by nature and require gentle handling to preserve their finish and shine.

Store Jewellery the Right Way

Proper storage is the first and most important step in jewellery care.

• Always store each piece separately to avoid scratches and tangling
• Use soft cloth pouches or padded jewellery boxes
• Keep Kundan pieces away from moisture and humidity
• Avoid stacking heavy jewellery on top of delicate designs

Tip: Wrap your jewellery in a soft cotton cloth before storing for extra protection.

Keep Away from Water, Perfume & Chemicals

Gold-plated and Kundan jewellery are sensitive to chemicals and moisture.

Avoid contact with:

• Water (especially during bathing or washing hands)
• Perfumes, deodorants, hair sprays
• Lotions, oils, and makeup
• Cleaning agents or sanitizers

Golden rule: Always wear your jewellery last and remove it first.

Clean Gently – Never Wash

Never wash gold-plated or Kundan jewellery under running water.

Instead:

• Use a soft, dry microfiber or cotton cloth
• Gently wipe after every wear to remove sweat and oil
• For intricate designs, use a soft makeup brush to remove dust

 Avoid:

• Soap, detergent, or liquid cleaners
• Harsh cloths or brushes
• Jewelry dips or ultrasonic cleaners

These can damage the polish and loosen stones.

Wear Mindfully 

Your jewellery lasts longer when worn with care.

• Avoid wearing during cooking, cleaning, or exercising
• Do not sleep while wearing jewellery
• Be careful with heavy outfits that may rub against delicate stones
• Avoid wearing the same piece daily to prevent wear and tear
  

Handle Kundan Stones with Extra Care

Kundan jewellery often features glass or faux stones secured with traditional techniques.

To protect them:

• Avoid pressure or impact
• Do not bend or twist the jewellery
• Handle necklaces by the chain or base — not the stones

If a stone loosens, stop wearing the piece and get it fixed immediately to prevent loss.

Refresh the Shine Naturally

Over time, jewellery may lose some of its initial shine — this is normal.

To refresh:

• Gently buff with a soft dry cloth
• Store with silica gel or moisture absorbers
• Air the jewellery occasionally (without sunlight exposure)

Avoid DIY hacks like toothpaste, baking soda, or lemon — these can permanently damage the plating.

Travel with Care

When traveling:

• Carry jewellery in individual soft pouches
• Avoid tossing pieces into makeup bags
• Use travel jewellery cases with compartments
