Your MESH jewelry is made with time, detail, and intention. To keep its shine and original beauty for many years, it also deserves proper care. In this simple guide, we share the essential steps to lovingly preserve gold-plated pieces — like caring for something precious.
1. Avoid contact with perfumes, creams, and chemicals
Gold plating is delicate. When exposed to chemicals (like perfumes, lotions, hair products, or detergents), it can lose its shine faster. The tip is simple: always put on your jewelry at the end of your routine.
💡 MESH tip: carry your jewelry in your bag and only put it on when you’re ready.
2. Remove jewelry before bathing or going to the beach
Running water, chlorine, and salt can wear down the gold plating over time. Also, they increase the risk of oxidation in pieces with exposed metal components.
Wear, shine, but let the water stay for swimming — not for the earrings.
3. Clean with a soft, dry cloth
No scrubbing hard. A cotton or microfiber cloth is ideal for removing dust, fingerprints, and small particles. If you need a deeper clean, use warm water with neutral 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? A jewelry box with compartments and a leather or velvet interior. This way you avoid scratches and contact with other metal surfaces.
Avoid leaving multiple pieces loose in the same box — constant friction can damage the plating.
5. Avoid sleeping with your jewelry
During the night, constant contact with fabrics and involuntary movements can cause wear. Taking them off before sleeping is a small gesture that makes a big difference.
Care for the shine like you care for a story
At MESH, we believe jewelry is more than accessories — they are extensions of memory and feeling. Taking care of them is taking care of what represents us.
