18ct gold plated sterling silver
Our gold plated jewellery is crafted from recycled 925 sterling silver and finished with a layer of 18ct gold plating. Sterling silver provides strength and durability, while the gold plating creates the warm tone and finish of gold. This combination allows us to create refined, lightweight pieces that offer the look of gold while remaining versatile and accessible.
As the gold layer sits on the surface of the silver, it will gradually wear with friction and contact over time and may require re-plating to restore its original finish.
18ct gold plated silver jewellery FAQ
18ct gold plated sterling silver is jewellery made from 925 sterling silver that has been coated with a layer of 18ct gold using an electroplating process. The silver provides structure and durability, while the gold layer gives the piece its rich gold colour.
Yes. The outer layer is made from real 18ct gold, which is bonded to the surface of the sterling silver. However, unlike solid gold jewellery, the gold sits on the exterior rather than running through the entire piece.
Gold plating is a surface finish, so it will naturally wear with friction, moisture and regular contact with skin or clothing. This is expected over time and does not affect the underlying sterling silver.
The longevity of gold plating depends on how often the jewellery is worn and how it is cared for. With thoughtful wear and proper care, gold plated jewellery can maintain its finish for a long time.
Yes. Gold plated sterling silver jewellery can be professionally re-plated to restore the gold finish once it begins to wear.
