Caring For Rose Ion-Plated Jewellery
Though Rose Gold ion-plating is an advanced technique, allowing you to have the look, without the price tag, it still requires care and attention. Paul Hewitt gives this advice when purchasing any Rose Gold Ion-Plated watches and jewellery.
The use of copper in the ion-plating material (responsible for the gleaming rose gold!) means that rose gold coloured watches and accessories that are ion-plated have a tendency to oxidise and change colour slightly, despite best efforts to look after them whilst being worn.
This is completely normal and is not a production fault. This change process is predominantly affected by the way you wear the watch and by your skin type. If you take off your rose gold coloured watches and accessories while doing sport, washing your hands or showering and do not expose them to damaging substances such as sweat, cleaning agents, oils or perfumes, this colour-change process can be slowed down significantly and you can enjoy more time with your rose gold products.
