Gold plated jewelry is made by covering a base metal with a layer of gold. The thickness of the gold layer can vary, but it is typically around 0.5 microns to 2.5 microns. This process gives jewelry the appearance of being made entirely of gold, while keeping the cost affordable.
The most common process of creating gold plated jewelry involves several steps. First, the base metal, such as copper or silver, is cleaned thoroughly to remove any impurities. Next, a thin layer of gold is deposited onto the base metal through a process called electroplating. This involves using an electric current to attract the gold particles to the surface of the base metal.
Unlike mass-produced gold plated jewelry, our handcrafted gold pieces are infused with a sense of artistry and individuality from the artisans.
Every creation is firstly meticulously handcrafted in 92.5% Sterling Silver and 7.5% Copper before being submerged in a luxurious choose of 18k or 24k pot of gold.
Gold plated jewelry offers a more affordable option for those who want the look of gold without the high price tag. It is also more durable than gold-filled or gold vermeil jewelry, as the gold layer is thicker and less likely to wear off with regular wear.
To keep your gold plated jewelry looking its best, it is important to take proper care of it. Avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals, such as perfumes or cleaning products, as these can cause the gold layer to wear off. Instead, gently clean your jewelry with a soft cloth and store it in a jewelry box or pouch to prevent scratching.
