How to Care for Gold-Plated Jewellery in the UAE Climate
Share
The UAE is one of the most beautiful places in the world — but its climate can be tough on jewellery. Between the intense heat, high humidity, and salty sea air, even quality gold-plated pieces need a little extra love to stay looking their best. The good news? With the right care routine, your Amoura pieces can stay radiant for years.
1. Keep It Away from Water (When You Can)
While our pieces are designed to be water-resistant, prolonged exposure to water — especially chlorinated pool water or saltwater — can accelerate wear on the plating. Make it a habit to remove your jewellery before swimming, showering, or hitting the beach.

2. Sweat Is the Hidden Enemy
In UAE summers, sweating is unavoidable. But sweat contains salts and acids that can dull gold plating over time. After a long day out, gently wipe your pieces with a soft, dry cloth before storing them.
3. Store Smart
Humidity is high year-round in the UAE, especially in coastal areas like Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Store your jewellery in an airtight pouch or box — ideally the Amoura gift box it came in — to minimise exposure to moisture and air.

4. Avoid Perfume & Chemical Contact
Always put your jewellery on last — after perfume, sunscreen, and makeup. Chemicals in these products can react with the plating and cause discolouration. This is especially important in the UAE where SPF and fragrance are daily essentials.
5. Clean Gently & Regularly
Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe your pieces after each wear. For a deeper clean, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, or abrasive materials.
6. Give It a Rest
Rotate your jewellery. Wearing the same piece every single day — especially in a hot climate — will naturally shorten its lifespan. Rotating between pieces gives each one time to "breathe."
