By nature, plated jewellery is more delicate and may gradually lose its colour over time. The rate of fading can vary based on several factors, including exposure to skincare products, perfumes, perspiration, and your skin&#x2019;s natural pH levels.&#xA0;To help preserve the beauty and longevity of your piece, we strongly recommend following the care instructions provided with your purchase. Proper care will enhance wearability and extend the life of your jewellery.&#xA0; By following these tips, you can keep your <a href="https://www.secrets-shhh.com.au/collections/duo-collection">gold vermeil jewellery</a> looking stunning for years to come! &#xA0;
