If you’ve ever wondered how to keep your favorite gold jewelry looking new without ruining it, you’re not alone, especially when it comes to PVD-coated pieces. At Lauren Riley Jewelry, our Gold and Silver Collection is made with high-quality PVD-coated stainless steel, meaning it’s water-resistant, tarnish-resistant, and hypoallergenic, but it still deserves a little TLC now and then.
Here’s exactly how to clean your gold PVD jewelry the right way.

✨ What Is Gold PVD Jewelry?
PVD stands for Physical Vapor Deposition, a super durable coating that binds gold to stainless steel. Unlike traditional gold plating, PVD jewelry is designed to resist fading, tarnish, and wear.
🧼 How to Clean Gold PVD Jewelry
Cleaning PVD-coated jewelry is super simple:
🧽 Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe away oils and buildup after each wear.
💧 Rinse gently with warm water and mild soap if needed. Avoid harsh chemicals.
🌬️ Dry completely with a soft cloth before storing.
📦 Store in your LRJ pouch to avoid scratches or dust when not in use.
❌ What to Avoid
🚫 No alcohol-based cleaners
🚫 No ultrasonic machines
🚫 No abrasive cloths or scrubbing pads
💛 Your PVD Jewelry Deserves Love
Just a quick wipe or rinse now and then keeps your pieces shining bright. These are designed to last, but a little care goes a long way.
