Handmade from Sterling Silver or 22ct yellow gold plated silver or solid 9ct yellow gold. Please note that the solid gold version takes up to four weeks for delivery including hallmarking. Please contact us if you need your order sooner.
We are now applying a thicker gold layer than the industry standard to ensure the gold plating lasts longer on our jewellery (three instead of two microns on necklaces and earrings and five microns on rings and bangles) . However, it still is a relatively fine layer of gold on top of the silver and the gold will wear away over time, especially with rings and with anything that is worn all the time. As well as wearing off, gold plating can be badly affected by elements such as heat, chlorine and body lotions. We are happy to re-plate items where the gold plating has worn away within the first three months of purchasing. Beyond this time there will be a charge for re-plating.
If you intend to wear your gold plated jewellery every day, 9ct solid gold is a much better option. It stays golden forever!
As the gold plate is a finish (a layer of gold over sterling silver) we advise that the gold can wear away over time. It can be affected by elements such as heat, chlorine and body lotions. We are happy to re-plate items that has gold plating worn away within the first three months of purchasing. However, beyond this time there is a £20 re-plating charge.
To make sure your jewellery stays golden forever, you could opt for 9ct solid gold. For a solid gold price, contact us by clicking Ask Seller a Question and we will get back to you within a couple of hours.
