Compared with other items, the gold plated or silver plated jewelry bead, which is made by covering a base metal a very thin layer of gold/silver, is more reactive. So it is necessary to protect the gold/silver plated jewelry beads from damaged. You could refer to the following tips to take care of your jewelry beads:
Firstly, please be sure to keep silver plated/gold plated items from water, soaps, and perfumes. Take off your jewelry before washing or have a bathe.
Secondly, keep it away from hard surface, even a light scratch will cause the layer to wear away fast
Thirdly, clean it gently with soft cloth or the appointed jewelry cleaner, this could help to eliminate any dirt or dust which will wear away the layer on the jewelry surface.
If your jewelry is not wearing, store it in a dry place or wrap with soft material.

Also remember never to wear your jewelry, even solid gold, in a chlorinated pool. Another thing to avoid is creams and lotions as they contain perfumes as well. Hope that helps as well.
