What is gold plated?

All our jewels are made of the highest quality 925 sterling silver and gold plated with 3 micron of fine gold. Gold plating is a process where a thin layer of gold is placed on the surface of a different material. All of our jewelry is plated on top of a base of sterling silver.

Jewelry Care

As it is a thin layer of gold, extra care should be taken to maximize its lifespan. You can wear our jewelry while washing your hands and showering.

To make sure that your jewelry stays in prime condition it is important to handle it with care. Therefore we recommend taking off your jewelry while:

• Sleeping (especially necklaces).
• Spraying perfume, oils, lotions.
• Swimming (chlorine has a negative effect).
• Showering & washing your hands.
• Exercising (sweat has a negative effect on plating).
• Cleaning.
