Gold-plated jewelry, sometimes referred to as Vermeil, is a type of jewelry that is made by coating a base metal, in our case sterling silver, with a layer of gold. This process gives the jewelry the appearance of solid gold at a fraction of the cost. At BLVD Jewelry, we ensure high-quality 18K gold plating to provide durability and a luxurious look.
To keep your gold-plated jewelry looking its best, follow these care tips:
- Avoid exposure to water, perfume, and chemicals.
- Remove jewelry before swimming, bathing, or exercising.
- Clean with a soft cloth to remove any dirt or oils.
- Store in a dry, cool place, preferably in a jewelry box or your BLVD pouch, to prevent scratches and tarnishing.
Over time, gold-plated jewelry can tarnish or fade, especially with frequent wear or exposure to moisture and chemicals. However, with proper care and maintenance, you can prolong the life and appearance of your gold-plated pieces. Our jewelry is designed to maintain its luster for as long as possible when properly cared for.
Our jewelry can be suitable for people with sensitive skin, because our base metal is sterling silver. At BLVD Jewelry, we use hypoallergenic precious metals such as sterling silver to minimize the risk of skin irritation. If you have concerns, we recommend consulting with a dermatologist before wearing new jewelry.
Gold-plated jewelry is not as valuable as solid gold jewelry because it contains only a layer of 18k gold over a base metal. However, it offers an affordable way to enjoy the look and feel of gold jewelry without the higher cost. At BLVD Jewelry, we provide high-quality, stylish gold-plated pieces that offer great value and beauty for your investment.
