Micro Plated Lavender Necklace – JCNL386

“Micro plated” refers to a process in which a very thin layer of a precious metal, such as gold or rhodium, is applied to a base metal like brass or copper. The thickness of this layer is measured in microns, which is a unit of one-millionth of a meter. This process is commonly used for fashion jewelry for several reasons:

Durability: The micro-plated layer is thicker and more durable than a simple “flash” or “wash” plating, offering better resistance to tarnishing and wear.

Aesthetic Appeal: It provides the luxurious look and shine of a solid precious metal at a significantly lower cost.

Hypoallergenic: Often, the plating process can make the jewelry more suitable for sensitive skin.
