Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our premium gold plating services.
What is the difference between gold plating and gold vermeil?
Gold plating involves electroplating a thin layer of gold onto a base metal like brass or copper. Gold vermeil requires a sterling silver base with a much thicker layer of gold, typically 2.5 microns, ensuring greater longevity and value.
How long does the gold plating last on jewelry?
With proper care, our high-quality plating typically lasts between 1 to 2 years. Factors such as skin acidity, contact with perfumes, and frequency of wear will influence the lifespan of the finish.
Can I send in my own jewelry to be replated?
Yes, we offer professional replating services for your personal items. We can restore the shine to faded gold pieces or transform silver items into a stunning gold finish.
What is your turnaround time for custom plating orders?
Standard processing time for plating services is 7 to 10 business days from the date we receive your item. Shipping times are additional and vary based on your location.
Is your jewelry safe for sensitive skin?
Absolutely. We use a nickel-free plating process to ensure our jewelry is hypoallergenic and safe for individuals with sensitive skin or metal allergies.
How should I care for my gold-plated pieces?
To maintain the brilliance of your jewelry, avoid contact with water, lotions, and harsh chemicals. Store your pieces in a cool, dry place and gently wipe them with a soft microfiber cloth after each use.
