Metal encased within resin is an exception to this, as this method seals out air. In such cases, the quality and grade of the resin become the primary consideration. Our workshop uses Japanese resin, which is then colored and coated with a protective layer. Aside from precious metals (like gold, platinum, or silver) or stainless steel, common surface treatments for metal jewelry can be broadly categorized as follows, listed in approximate order of price and color longevity (highest to lowest): Gold Filled (GF) > K Gold Plated (KGP) > Alloy Plated. The character "鍍" (dù) specifically denotes the plating process. 【How to Extend the Life of Your Plated Jewelry】 - Keep it dry and avoid contact with water. If it comes into contact with sweat, wipe it clean with a dry cloth after use. - After wearing, gently wipe the metal parts with a dry cloth/jewelry cleaning cloth and store in a ziplock bag to isolate it from air and moisture. - Minimize friction. Store your jewelry in individual, separate sealed bags or boxes. - Avoid contact between the plating and highly volatile substances such as hairspray, alcohol, or perfume. - If you habitually wear jewelry daily, try to rotate between different pieces or consider investing in precious metals (pure gold/silver) or stainless steel, which offer greater durability.
