WHAT MAKES OUR PLATING DIFFERENT Most jewelry supply shops use “flash” plating — a very thin layer of gold that can fade, rub off, or even develop green spots as the base metal reacts with air and moisture.
We don’t use flash plating. Our findings are double-plated with a thicker layer of real 18K gold for a deeper, longer-lasting finish. Each layer is carefully applied over a strong base metal, creating a smooth surface that resists tarnish, oxidation, and fading. With a little care (keeping them dry and away from chemicals) your pieces stay bright and beautiful through daily wear.
WHY DID WE CHOOSE REAL 18K GOLD TO PLATE OUR JEWELRY? We chose REAL 18K gold plating for its perfect balance of warmth, richness, and durability. It has that timeless gold tone—neither too bright nor too muted—that makes every design stand out beautifully. Compared to 14K gold plating, 18K gold contains more pure gold, giving it a richer, more luxurious color that closely resembles fine jewelry.
ANTIQUED 18K GOLD PLATED Our antiqued gold finish is created through a double-plating process using real 18K gold, then topped with an antiqued layer that adds depth and character. The result is a rich, vintage-inspired look with warm tones and subtle shading that highlight every detail.
Plating Note: Our gold plating is done in small batches to ensure quality and consistency. Because of this process, you may notice very slight variations in tone from batch to batch. These subtle differences are a natural part of small-batch production.
