My neighbour has an early clad piece which she had worn faithfully every day. The clad has worn off in many areas -- she said she never takes off the bracelet (not even when she showers). I hesitated to buy any clad pieces until I realized that I ALWAYS take off my jewelry -- every piece is 'gently' worn so I imagine the longevity of the clad depends on how much wear and tear you expect.

Geez, not "ever'"taking off jewelry seems so "gross" (am I dating myself?). I'm not sure of the science/chemical reaction, but I think some people may have some sort of reaction with their skin (or so it seems, or so they say), but I have had no issues at all with my Ripka Gold Clad pieces. I clean all my pieces with Windex as Judith recommends, except for the pearls.
