• Put jewellery on last – Apply beauty products first, then wear your jewellery.
• Store carefully– Keep pieces in a soft pouch or jewellery box to prevent scratches and tarnish.
• Clean gently – Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wearing.
Gentle care will help maintain the gold finish and keep your jewellery looking beautiful.
ABOUT
Gold Plated on Sterling Silver
Gold plated jewellery is made by applying a thin layer of gold over a sterling silver base using an electroplating process. This allows the piece to have the appearance of solid gold while remaining more affordable.
The thickness of the gold layer can vary, and over time the plating may gradually wear with frequent use. Proper care and avoiding harsh chemicals can help extend the life of gold plated jewellery.
Vermeil Gold Jewellery
Gold vermeil (pronounced ver-may) is a higher quality type of gold plated jewellery. To be classified as vermeil, the jewellery must meet strict standards:
A solid sterling silver base
Gold plating that is significantly thicker than standard plating
Typically 10k gold or higher purity
Because the gold layer is thicker, vermeil jewellery is more durable and longer lasting than standard gold plating, making it a popular choice for premium gold-on-silver jewellery.
Anti-Tarnish Gold on Sterling Silver
Modern gold-on-silver jewellery may also include advanced anti-tarnish technology, such as protective e-coating or specialised plating layers. These coatings help prevent oxidation, reduce tarnishing, and maintain the gold finish for longer.
Many anti-tarnish pieces also use triple-layer or hard gold plating, which improves durability and helps the jewellery retain its colour and shine even with regular wear.
