What is Plated Jewellery?
Plated jewellery involves a method where a base metal, typically less expensive, is coated with a layer of a precious metal, enhancing both its appearance and durability. This technique allows for creating exquisite pieces that are more accessible than solid metal items.
For example, gold-plated jewellery features a substantial layer of gold over another metal, offering the lustrous finish and appeal of gold at a fraction of the cost. Similarly, sterling silver-plated jewellery uses a plating of sterling silver to achieve a durable and shiny finish.
Sussan's collection boasts a wide variety of sterling silver and gold-plated pieces to guarantee you can find the perfect accessory to complement your unique style.
Plated Jewellery vs. Other Jewellery Types
Plated jewellery offers a compelling alternative to solid gold and stainless steel, especially for fashion-conscious individuals in Australia seeking both style and affordability. While solid gold pieces, such as those in classic yellow gold or romantic rose gold, exude luxury and longevity, they often come with a higher price tag.
On the other hand, stainless steel is known for its durability and resistance to tarnish, but it may lack the warmth and lustre of precious metals. Plated jewellery strikes a balance, delivering the sought-after appearance of solid gold or sterling silver at a more accessible price point, making it a versatile choice for everyday wear and special occasions.
