Update on 7 Aug 2020: I haven't taken off the jewellery since I got it and go everywhere with it 24/7. Surprisingly, they stay intact to their original form and no sign of tarnishing at all! It definitely worth the price!
Let's face it: no one likes tarnished necklaces.
When it comes to jewellery, I swear by the idea that simplicity is key. I don't particularly like to splurge on them, as styles are something that easily changes and putting high-priced jewellery on my body comes with greater risks =either I will choke on myself, the item falls off, or being robbed-.
Sadly, affordable gold=plated necklaces are easily tarnished and rusty. While the main pendant maybe made of stainless steel, brass, or other solid materials, the gold and 14K gold plating wouldn't sustain in the long term. Often times, even lesser attention are paid to the chains. This cause the necklaces to smell and became itchy once the plating came off.
Another point that annoys me the most about gold-plated jewellery is that they are not water resistant. I couldn't even remember how many times I came across jewellery that I like at online and offline stores, only to be told it needs to be taken off before shower and avoided from chemicals to maintain its original colour. Nobody got time for that!
Thus, after constant battle of scrolling my eyes off around Etsy and Google, I was stoked to find Bohomoon on my search list. The store offers affordable jewellery in different materials, with most of their items created from stainless steel plated in gold, rose gold, and silver. The stores' care instructions indicate that their stainless steel jewellery are waterproof, durable, and tarnished-free, with high number of customer reviews confirming the same.
Below are some of the items that I bought on my first purchase::
3. 3 for £10.00 Necklace Surprise Goodie Bag - Sold Out
The last item was part of their clearance and bought by my housemate. With the price of £10.00, you'll get 3 surprise necklaces in the colour of your choice. I found this is fun to try for the surprise element and certainly saves you money as long as you wouldn't mind their choices!
All the items came in a pink velvet pouch with Bohomoon logo, elevating their cuteness.
So far, I've been wearing these necklaces 24/7 for the past week, be it during sleep, workout, or hot shower. The colour really stays on, no smell or sign of tarnishing and the material is definitely heavier than normal gold-plated jewellery. I'd be sure to continue updating the condition in few months time to see. if they stay true to the durable and long-lasting promise.
Final thoughts? I'd definitely recommend Bohomoon if you're looking for affordable gold-plated jewellery. The store also sells earrings, rings, and bracelet on top of their necklace collection and offer FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING FOR ORDERS ABOVE £50.00! Moreover, the items are also available for wholesale with attractive discounts.
