How Thick Is Your 18K Gold Plating, and Will It Last?

Our fashion jewelry uses 18K gold plating over a brass base, with a plating thickness of 0.1-0.3 micron. This is a measured, consistent spec across our production line, not a vague surface coating. It delivers a warm, even gold finish at a wholesale-friendly price while keeping pieces light and comfortable for daily wear.

Measured Plating Spec

Each piece carries 0.1-0.3 micron of 18K gold over brass. We track plating thickness per batch so color and coverage stay uniform from sample to bulk order.

Built for Daily Wear

A sealed top coat helps resist tarnish and fading through regular wear and handling, keeping the gold tone consistent over time.

Skin-Friendly Materials

All pieces are nickel-free and lead-free, and our process meets REACH and CE with SGS verification, safer for sensitive skin and smoother customs clearance.

How to Keep the Gold Finish Lasting Longer

Plating life depends on how a piece is worn and stored. A few simple habits help:

  • Remove before swimming, showering, or applying perfume and lotion.
  • Wipe with a soft dry cloth after wear to remove oils and moisture.
  • Store in a dry pouch or box, away from humidity and sunlight.
  • Put jewelry on last, after makeup, to limit surface contact.
