What is gold plated jewelry?
Gold-plated jewelry is a popular choice for women who want to enjoy the luxurious look of gold without the high price of solid gold jewelry. But what exactly is gold-plated jewelry? And why is the quality so important?
Goldplated jewelry is a popular choice for women who love the luxury and warm glow of gold but prefer not to invest in solid gold jewelry. But what exactly does "goldplated" mean? And how do you know if you are choosing good quality? In this blog, we explain everything and tell you how our own 14K PVD coating keeps your jewelry looking beautiful for longer.
What does “goldplated” mean?
A goldplated piece of jewelry is usually made from a base material, such as stainless steel or brass, which is then coated with a thin layer of gold. This happens through a process where the gold is applied as a coating over the metal. The result? A piece of jewelry that looks like real gold but is much more affordable.
Why is the quality of the plating so important?
Not all goldplated jewelry is the same. The thickness of the gold layer and the technique used make a world of difference in how long your jewelry stays beautiful. A thin layer can wear off quickly, especially if you wear the jewelry often or shower with it. That’s why at My Bendel we consciously choose a high-quality technique: PVD coating.
Our 14K PVD coating: strong, durable, and colorfast
At My Bendel all our goldplated jewelry is equipped with a 14-carat PVD coating. PVD stands for Physical Vapor Deposition. This is an advanced process where the gold is applied at a molecular level. This ensures an extra strong adhesion, making your jewelry:
