Can silver jewelry be gold plated?
Yes, silver jewelry can be gold plated. This process, known as gold vermeil when done to a certain standard, involves coating sterling silver with a layer of gold. Gold plating enhances the appearance of silver jewelry, giving it the luxurious look of solid gold at a more affordable price.
Durability: The thickness of the gold layer affects the durability. Thicker layers (2.5 microns or more) last longer.
Maintenance: To maintain the plating, avoid exposure to water, perfumes, and lotions, and clean gently with a soft cloth.
Versatility: Gold plating can be done in various karats (e.g., 14k, 18k) to achieve different shades of gold.
