Gold plated brass/copper:
Gold plated jewellery will last much longer than fashion jewellery. However, to make it last as long as possible avoid contact with water because it will eventually fade back to its original base.
​
Fashion jewellery:
Fashion jewellery is usually made from zinc alloy or brass. These metals must be kept dry at all times to avoid your skin from turning green and the jewellery from rusting.
