What is a “Micro Plated” Necklace?
“Micro plated” is a term used in the jewelry industry to describe a specific type of gold plating.

Process: It involves a technique called electroplating where a base metal (often copper or brass) is coated with a very thin layer of real gold. The term “micro” refers to the thickness of this gold layer, which is measured in microns (one micron is a millionth of a meter).

Durability: Micro plating is a more durable and long-lasting form of plating compared to a simple “gold wash” or “flash plating.” A minimum thickness of 0.5 microns is generally considered “micron plating,” and some high-quality pieces can have a thicker layer, which increases their durability.

Appearance and Affordability: The main advantage of micro plated jewelry is that it provides the luxurious look and feel of solid gold jewelry at a fraction of the cost. The gold layer is real, so it has the same color and shine as solid gold.

Care: To maintain the shine and longevity of micro plated jewelry, it is recommended to avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, and harsh chemicals. It should also be stored in a dry place, away from moisture.
