Gold plated jewelry is not made of gold actually. The base metal in that situation is usually a copper or silver, which are much more affordable than any gold alloys. However, gold plated jewelry is made by using electricity or chemicals to deposit a very thin layer of gold over that other base metal.
Gold plated jewelry is not fake – it's real gold covering another material to save you money and risk. If you decide to go all in for solid gold, we got you and all of our pieces can be purchased in solid gold.
