How to Care for Your 18 + 2 18 Karat Gold PVD Stainless Steel Butterfly Necklace

1. Wipe the piece dry with a soft cloth after each wear to keep the 18K gold plating looking its best.
2. Keep it away from perfume, lotion and chlorine, which can wear down the plating over time.
3. Store it flat or hanging away from other jewelry to prevent scratching the plated surface.
4. Avoid abrasive cloths or cleaners, which can strip the gold plating faster.
5. Take it off before swimming or bathing to protect the finish.
