At Nunayú, each piece is the result of an artisanal process full of intention, patience, and meaning. These are handmade creations by women who, through jewelry-making, rebuild their stories and generate new opportunities.

That is why caring for your gold-plated pieces not only helps preserve their shine, but is also a way of honoring the work and history behind them.

Gold-plated pieces have a delicate layer and therefore require softer, more mindful care.

Avoid:

* Using baking soda or toothpaste

* Using metal polishes

* Alcohol or acetone

* Rubbing with force

* Wearing them while exercising

* Wearing them in the shower or while swimming

Proper cleaning:

Warm water and mild soap

* Mix mild soap in warm (not hot) water

* Soak the piece for 15–30 minutes

* Clean with a soft cloth or brush

* Rinse and dry completely

Dry polishing

* Use a microfiber cloth

* Ideal for removing fingerprints and light oil without damaging the piece

Distilled water

* Helps avoid mineral residue

* Recommended for delicate or frequently worn pieces

Pieces with stones or freshwater pearls

Many Nunayú pieces include freshwater pearls and other delicate elements:

* Avoid submerging them in water

* Do not use harsh products

* Clean with a slightly damp cloth

How to store your pieces

* Store jewelry in airtight bags or containers

* Prefer anti-tarnish pouches

* Keep each piece separate to avoid scratches

Less is more

With gold plating, care lies in softness. Cleaning less frequently and avoiding excessive friction helps preserve the golden layer that makes each piece unique.

One piece, one story

Each earring, necklace, or bracelet from Nunayú represents much more than design: it is a symbol of transformation, resilience, and collective creation.

By caring for your jewelry, you are also caring for that process and honoring the stories that brought it to life.
