What is gold-plated silver?

It's a piece of jewelry made of 925 Sterling Silver coated with a layer of 14K gold about 2 microns thick. You get the warm look of gold at an accessible price, on a base of genuine silver — not common metals.

How long does the gold plating last?

It depends on wear. The 2-micron layer is generous and durable, but any plating will gradually wear through friction, water, perfume, and creams. With care — take it off for showering and sports, wipe it after wear — the color stays beautiful for a long time.

What plating shades are available?

Classic yellow gold, romantic rose gold, and rhodium for a bright white finish. They all start from the same 925 silver base, so choose the shade to match your style or the rest of your jewelry.

Can a piece be re-plated when the layer wears off?

Yes. Because the base is genuine 925 silver, the piece can be re-plated to restore its golden hue via the Indira repair portal. That's the advantage of plating on silver versus jewelry made from common metals.

Is gold plating good for sensitive skin?

Generally yes, because the base is 925 Sterling Silver, which is well tolerated. Very sensitive individuals may react as the layer thins and the skin comes into contact with the silver — in that case, solid 14K gold is the right alternative.

Why choose gold-plated over solid gold?

For the golden look at an accessible price. Plating gives you the elegance of gold on a base of genuine silver, ideal for building a varied collection. Every order includes a warranty certificate.
