Gold-Plated Jewellery

Gold-plated jewellery is crafted from a base metal (such as silver, brass or copper) that has been coated with a thin layer of gold. This technique gives the piece the look of gold at a more accessible price point.

Because the gold layer is thinner than solid gold, special care is needed to maintain its appearance.

Gold-plated jewellery offers the warm tone and luxe look of gold without the higher cost of solid gold. It’s a great way to achieve stylish, gold-tone accessories that align with your beach-inspired or everyday coastal wardrobe, while keeping value and style approachable.

Yes - all our gold-plated jewellery are made of 925 sterling silver which are very gentle on the skin.

Because the gold layer on gold-plated jewellery is relatively thin, it requires a bit extra attention:

• Wipe it gently with a soft, non-abrasive cloth after each wear to remove skin oils and residues.
  
• Avoid exposing it to soap, chlorine, salt water, perfumes or lotions - these can break down the plating.
  
• Store it in a cool, dry place, ideally in a soft pouch or separate compartment to avoid scratching and wear.
  
• Remove the piece before showering, swimming, exercising or heavy chem/clean exposure.
  
  Proper jewellery care helps prolong the life of the plating and maintain the rich gold tone.

Yes, you can, but with caution. If you wear gold-plated jewellery around salt water, chlorine or in heavy sweat conditions, the plating will wear faster. For best longevity: rinse the piece in fresh water after exposure, dry thoroughly and store it properly. Also consider layering or rotating pieces so one doesn’t shoulder all the wear.
