Gold-Plated
Gold-plated refers to a method of jewelry making where a thin layer of gold is applied to the surface of another metal, usually through an electrochemical process. This technique allows jewelry to exhibit the attractive appearance and luster of gold at a fraction of the cost of solid gold pieces. The thickness of the gold layer can vary, but it is generally very thin, measured in microns. Gold-plated jewelry requires careful handling and maintenance to preserve its appearance, as the gold layer can wear away over time, exposing the base metal beneath. This process provides an affordable option for consumers seeking the aesthetic of gold jewelry without the higher investment of pure or solid gold. Explore Gold-Plated products.
