Caring for matte antique-gold finishes

Imitation jewellery lasts years with three habits: wear it last (after perfume, hairspray and makeup), wipe it with a dry soft cloth before storing, and keep each piece in its own zip pouch so platings never rub. Never store in the bathroom — humidity is what dulls a matte finish, not age.

A matte antique-gold finish looks its best when it is not polished aggressively — avoid silver-polish cloths and liquid cleaners, which can strip the matte texture and reveal the base metal. If a piece has dulled slightly, a soft dry microfibre buff is enough. For heavy tarnish, WhatsApp us and we will advise whether the piece can be re-finished.
