Gold-plated

Gold-plated jewellery combines the look of gold with an accessible approach to design. It consists of a base metal — often brass or silver — coated with a thin layer of gold through electroplating. While its gold layer is lighter than vermeil, gold-plated jewellery allows for expressive shapes, playful proportions and contemporary styles at a more approachable price.

Because its coating is thinner, gold-plated jewellery evolves more quickly over time. A soft patina may appear, especially on pieces worn daily or exposed to friction. Many consider this part of its charm, though refreshing the plating is always possible if one prefers to restore the original shine.

How to care for it?
Avoid water, perfumes, lotions and household products. Store each piece separately to protect the surface. Clean gently with a soft dry cloth — without abrasive products — to preserve the gold finish as long as possible.
