At Plated Chaos, every piece is thoughtfully crafted using recycled sterling silver and finished with high quality e-plating for lasting shine and comfort. Our jewellery is also hypoallergenic, making it suitable for sensitive skin and everyday wear.
To help your jewellery stay looking its best for years to come, we’ve put together this simple care guide.
Understanding Your Jewellery
Recycled Sterling Silver
Sterling silver is a timeless precious metal loved for its bright shine and durability. Like all sterling silver, it can naturally tarnish over time when exposed to air, moisture and everyday products - but with proper care, it can easily be restored to its original beauty.
24ct Gold-Plated Jewellery
Our gold-plated pieces feature a layer of luxurious 24ct gold over recycled sterling silver using high quality e-plating techniques. This creates a beautiful finish with improved durability compared to standard plating methods.
18ct Rose Gold-Plated Jewellery
Our rose gold jewellery is plated with elegant 18ct rose gold over sterling silver, giving each piece a warm, romantic tone. Like all plated jewellery, extra care helps preserve the finish for longer.
Everyday Jewellery Care Tips
To extend the life of your jewellery, we recommend:
- Remove jewellery before showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping
- Avoid direct contact with perfumes, lotions, hairspray, fake tan and cleaning products
- Put jewellery on last when getting ready
- Store pieces separately to prevent scratches and tangling
- Keep jewellery in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight
How to Clean Sterling Silver Jewellery
Sterling silver can naturally tarnish over time, especially if worn frequently or exposed to moisture.
To clean your silver jewellery:
- Use a soft polishing cloth to gently buff the surface
- Wash occasionally in lukewarm water with mild soap
- Dry thoroughly before storing
Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the metal and plating.
Caring for Gold & Rose Gold-Plated Jewellery
Gold plated jewellery requires slightly gentler care than solid silver pieces.
To help preserve the plating:
- Avoid water and moisture where possible
- Do not wear during workouts or swimming
- Gently wipe after wearing to remove oils and residue
- Store in a soft pouch or jewellery box
Over time, plating may naturally fade with regular wear but careful handling will significantly extend its lifespan.
Is Our Jewellery Hypoallergenic?
Yes - all of our jewellery is hypoallergenic and designed to be kind to sensitive skin. Our pieces are crafted from recycled sterling silver and finished using high quality e-plating techniques without harsh base metals commonly associated with irritation.
