As with all gold-plated jewelry, the gold weakens over time when exposed to water, perfume, chemicals etc. Try to keep your precious jewelry away from that if possible. If you wish to do a quick touch up at home, our Nootka Care Kit is the perfect go to.  Last year we also launched our a service called Nootka Care. This service is great if you need more than just a quick touch up. As a Nootka customer you can send in your jewelry for gold plating, polishing or a repair to our foundry for just cost price.
