Gold-Plated & Silver-Plated Jewellery: These pieces feature a thin layer of precious metal over a base metal. Over time, this plating can naturally wear off, revealing the underlying metal. This is a normal process that can be accelerated by friction, exposure to chemicals, and daily wear.

Stainless Steel Jewellery: While highly durable and resistant to tarnishing, stainless steel can still scratch or lose its polish with heavy use. It's an excellent choice for everyday wear but benefits from proper care.

The good news is, with a little care and attention, you can significantly extend the life and maintain the beautiful luster of your Maya Blue treasures!
