Gold-plated jewelry is metal jewelry that has a layer of another metal on top, in this case liquid gold, killing allergy-causing microorganisms. Because the layer of gold plating is very thin, gold-plated jewelry is much more affordable than jewelry made from real gold. An additional protective layer is also applied to the gold coating so that the jewelry is optimally protected against scratches and damage. That is why they retain their shine, do not scratch, do not remain 'black', do not cause an allergic reaction, and cubic zirconia, the stone most often used in gold-plated jewelry, retains its shine for a long time.
In our online store you will find gold-plated rings, necklaces, bracelets and earrings.
