I always receive questions from customers regarding gold plated or gold filled jewelry.
Question usually is:
- Will it turn overtime?
- How can i clean jewelry which is turning?
I never received a question asking "How can I care about jewelry so it will not turn?"
I think it's good to know "The Prevention" before things happen, right?
This tips will be great help for keep your jewelry as new and avoid tarnishing.
We all love our jewelry and want to see it to last long!
In fact it is possible if you know a few things. This knowledge will save you a high repair costs as well in future.
