Common Issues with Iced out jewelry?
Why is my iced out jewelry tarnishing & discolouring!
Substances like sweat, oil, nail polish, nail polish remover, chlorine, and perfume may react with metals in your plated jewelry and cause it to tarnish, lose colour and even turn your skin black or green. If your iced out jewelry is gold plated, when you exercise, swim or do activities that cause you to break a sweat we highly reccomend removing your jewelry to extend its lifetime significantly. The fastest way for your jewellery to discolour is for it to repeatedly come into contact with moisture. Dust is also very common problem for iced out jewelry but is also easy to keep on top off with polishing equipment available at most jewelers.
Why is the Gold Plating on my iced out jewelry Fading?
The thin layer of gold plating on iced out jewelry is susceptible to wear and tear. Constant friction against skin, clothing, and other surfaces can gradually erode the gold layer, revealing the base metal underneath. This is especially true for rings and bracelets, which generally spend more time in close contact than iced out necklaces or earrings. Over time, the gold plated finish can become dull, patchy, or completely disappear on jewelry pieces prone to excessive contact. This process is accelerated by activities like manual labor, sports and even just everyday movements. While some wear is inevitable, minimizing friction, handling your pieces with care, storing properly and regular cleaning, can significantly prolong your iced out jewelery's lifetime.
Why are the stones in my iced out jewelery falling out?
Iced out jewelry is crafted from cubic zirconia (CZ), Moissanite or other simulated diamonds. The stones are set using prongs, glue, or a combination of both. This method of stone setting while very common is prone to damage overtime, prongs use to hold the simulated diamonds in place can bend, and like most adhesive's glue will naturally wear overtime. This can lead to stones becoming loose and eventually falling out of your iced out jewelry pieces. To prevent loose and lost stones, remove your jewelry when completing rigourus activites or were your jewelry may become exposed to excess liquid.
Why is my iced out jewelry getting scratches?
Gold plating is usually just a gold dip that coats a base metal like stainless steel, sterling silver or brass. Being only a coating it. is more prone to scratches than solid gold. However just llike solid gold minor contact with hard surfaces can leave noticeable marks on the plating. These scratches can not only detract from the jewelry's appearance but also further weaken the plating, making it more susceptible to tarnishing. it's crucial to store your iced-out jewelry separately in soft pouches or jewelry boxes to prevent contact with other pieces when not being worn.
