3-micron gold plated
Who buys gold plating?
Gold plating, less expensive than gold, is within everyone's reach.
Appreciated by men and women alike, these shiny jewels can be found on catwalks and in fashion magazines.
In the form of necklaces, earrings or bracelets, it's a must-have.
How do I clean gold plating?
Plated jewelry can darken on contact with skin and sweat.
We suggest you clean them regularly, but gently. Avoid anything too abrasive, such as baking soda, chemicals or hard brushes...
Instead, clean regularly and gently with :
- Soapy water
- Breadcrumbs
- Onion, cut in half
Rinse well and wipe dry.
To make your jewelry shine, use a microfiber cloth sprinkled with flour.
Gold or gold-plated, how do you know?
Several methods are available to you:
- Hallmarking: This generally means that your jewelry or component is made of genuine gold. Please note that there are sometimes hallmarks on gold plating.
- Teeth: Since gold is a soft metal, if you bite into it (watch your teeth!), a mark will remain, unlike on gold-plated.
- Magnet: Gold plating is a plating technique on a base metal alloy, so it's possible (but not every time) that your gold-plated jewelry will be magnetic, but this will never be the case for real gold.
