Your MESH jewelry is made with time, care, and intention. To keep it looking and feeling its original shine for years to come, it deserves the right care. In this simple guide, we’ll share the essential steps to lovingly preserve your gold-plated pieces — just like caring for something precious.
1. Avoid contact with perfumes, creams and chemicals
Gold plating is delicate. When exposed to chemicals (such as perfumes, lotions, hair products or detergents), it can lose its shine more quickly. The tip is simple: always put your jewelry on at the end of your routine.
💡 MESH tip: take your jewelry in your bag and only put it on once you're ready.
2. Take off your jewelry before bathing or going to the beach
Running water, chlorine and salt can wear away gold plating over time. They also increase the risk of oxidation in pieces with exposed metal components.
Wear it, shine it, but leave the water for diving — not for earrings.
3. Clean with a soft, dry cloth
Don't scrub too hard. A cotton or microfiber cloth is ideal for removing dust, fingerprints, and small particles. If you need a deeper clean, use warm water and mild soap, but never scrub with a brush.
4. Store your pieces separately
Jewelry should be stored in a dry place, away from direct sunlight. The ideal option? A jewelry box with dividers and a leather or velvet interior. This will prevent scratches and contact with other metal surfaces.
Avoid leaving several loose pieces in the same box — constant friction can damage the plating.
5. Avoid sleeping with your jewelry on
During the night, constant contact with fabrics and involuntary movements can cause wear and tear. Removing them before going to sleep is a small gesture that makes a big difference.
Take care of the shine like you would take care of a story
At MESH, we believe that jewelry is more than just an accessory — it is an extension of our memories and feelings. Taking care of it is taking care of what represents us.
