Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will my Purki jewelry tarnish?
All imitation jewelry with metal plating can tarnish over time, especially with exposure to moisture, sweat, and chemicals. Following our care tips — keeping it dry, storing it properly, and avoiding perfumes — will significantly slow down tarnishing and keep your pieces looking fresh.
Q: Can I wear my Purki rings every day?
Yes, but we recommend rotating your pieces and removing them during activities involving water, chemicals, or heavy physical work. Daily wear is fine as long as you follow the care guidelines.
Q: My jewelry has turned slightly dark. Can I restore it?
Gently wipe with a soft dry cloth. For light tarnish, a very slightly damp cloth can help — dry immediately after. Avoid using silver polish, toothpaste, or any abrasive cleaners as these can damage the plating and stones.
Q: Are the stones safe to get wet?
We strongly advise against it. Water can weaken the adhesive in stone settings over time, causing stones to loosen or fall out. Always keep your jewelry dry.
Q: How long will the K Gold plating last?
With proper care, our K Gold plating can last 1–2 years or more with regular wear. Pieces worn occasionally and stored correctly can last significantly longer. Avoiding moisture and chemicals is the single biggest factor in extending plating life.
Q: Can I get my Purki jewelry re-plated?
Yes! Most local jewelry repair shops offer re-plating services for brass-based jewelry. If your piece has sentimental value or is a favourite, re-plating is a great way to restore its shine.
Q: Is Purki jewelry safe for sensitive skin?
Our jewelry is brass-based with K Gold plating. If you have a known sensitivity to brass or nickel, we recommend wearing pieces for shorter durations and avoiding contact with skin when sweating. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
Q: How should I store multiple rings together?
Keep each ring in its own soft pouch or compartment. Rings stored together can scratch each other's surface and damage stone settings. The individual pouches or the Purki box your jewelry came in are perfect for this.
