How to Choose Gold Plated Silver Chains
Gold plated silver chains offer the warm glow of gold at a fraction of the cost, with the durability of sterling silver underneath. Understanding plating quality, care requirements, and styling options helps you enjoy beautiful gold-tone jewelry that lasts.
Understanding Gold Plating
Gold plated silver has a layer of real gold over 925 sterling silver. Plating thickness varies - higher microns mean longer-lasting gold color. Our chains use quality plating over genuine sterling silver, unlike costume jewelry with base metals. The silver base ensures hypoallergenic wear.
Benefits Over Solid Gold
Gold plated silver costs 80-90% less than solid gold while looking identical when new. The sterling silver base is stronger than pure gold. If plating wears over time, it can be re-plated affordably. It's an excellent way to enjoy gold aesthetics within budget.
Care for Longevity
Gold plating requires extra care. Remove before swimming, exercising, or bathing. Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, and chemicals. Store in airtight containers away from other jewelry. Clean with dry soft cloth only. With proper care, plating lasts 1-2 years of regular wear.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does gold plating last on silver?▼
With proper care, gold plating on silver chains lasts 1-2 years with regular wear. Daily wear with exposure to sweat and products may cause faster fading. Light, occasional wear can maintain the finish for several years. Replating is possible when needed.
Is gold plated silver hypoallergenic?▼
Yes, gold plated 925 sterling silver is generally hypoallergenic. The silver base is safe for sensitive skin. If the gold layer wears thin, the silver underneath is still skin-safe, unlike gold-plated base metals that may cause reactions.
Can you shower with gold plated silver chain?▼
It's best to remove gold plated chains before showering. Water, soap, and shampoo accelerate plating wear. Steam and hot water can also affect the finish. For longest lasting results, put on jewelry after bathing and applying products.
Gold plated vs gold filled - what's the difference?▼
Gold plated has a thin layer of gold applied electrically (0.5-2.5 microns). Gold filled has thicker gold mechanically bonded (5% of total weight). Gold filled lasts longer but costs more. Our gold plated silver offers excellent value with proper care.
Can gold plated silver be replated?▼
Yes, gold plated silver can be professionally replated when the finish wears. Jewelers can strip old plating and apply fresh gold. This is more economical than buying new and extends jewelry life. Some jewelry stores offer this service.
