Nandai pieces are gold-plated brass set with Noor crystal and faux pearls. Treated kindly, the plating and shine last beautifully for years. Here is how to look after them.
Everyday habits
- Put your jewellery on last — after perfume, hairspray, lotion and makeup have fully dried.
- Take it off before swimming, showering, exercising or sleeping.
- Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after each wear.
Storage
- Keep each piece in a soft pouch or a lined box, away from moisture and direct sunlight.
- Store pieces separately so the crystal and plating do not scratch one another.
- A sachet of silica gel in your jewellery drawer helps during monsoon.
Gold-plated jewellery is fashion jewellery — it is not solid gold — so a little care goes a long way. Follow these steps and your set will look just-bought for a long time.
