What is gold-plated jewellery?
Gold-plated jewellery is a popular choice for many people because it offers the look of solid gold at a fraction of the cost. Gold plating is a process in which a thin layer of gold is applied to the surface of another metal, such as silver or copper. The gold can be 14k or 18k plating, which refers to the relative thickness of the gold layer. This creates a piece of jewellery that has the appearance of solid gold, but at a much lower price. One of the benefits of gold-plated jewellery is that it is much more affordable than solid gold jewellery. Because only a thin layer of gold is used, gold-plated jewellery can be purchased at a significantly lower cost than solid gold pieces. This makes it a good option for people who love the look of gold but don't want to spend a lot of money on their jewellery.
Advantages
Another advantage of gold-plated jewellery is that it is very versatile. Because it is made from a range of different metals, gold-plated jewellery can be created in a variety of styles and designs. This means that there is a wide range of gold-plated jewellery available to suit different tastes and preferences. However, it's important to remember that gold-plated jewellery is not as durable as solid gold jewellery. The thin layer of gold can wear off over time, especially if the jewellery is not cared for properly. To ensure that your gold-plated jewellery retains its shine and luster, it's important to clean and store it properly. With Aster & Aura we recommend storing your jewellery in its original silk bag and microfiber cloth bag to prevent moisture damage.
Gold-plated jewellery is a great option for people who want the look of gold without the high price tag. It's versatile, affordable, and can add a touch of luxury to any outfit. Just be sure to take care of your gold-plated jewellery to ensure that it lasts as long as possible.
