Gold Plated

Gold plated jewelry is a type of jewelry that is coated with a thin layer of gold. The base metal can be made of various materials such as brass, copper, or silver, and the gold plating is applied through a process called electroplating.

A thicker layer of gold plating is generally more durable and resistant to wear and tear, but it also increases the cost of the jewelry.

Gold plated jewelry is an affordable alternative to solid gold jewelry, as it has the look and feel of gold but at a lower cost. However, it is important to note that gold plated jewelry is not as valuable as solid gold jewelry and may not hold its value as well over time.

To care for gold plated jewelry, it is important to avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals, such as those found in cleaning products, and to avoid wearing it in water or during activities that may cause it to become scratched or damaged. It is also recommended to store gold plated jewelry separately from other jewelry to prevent it from becoming tangled or scratched.
