Do you like the look of gold but not necessarily the price? Gold-plated jewelry is a great alternative.
But be careful, not all gold plating is equal! At Kubestore.ch, we have chosen 3-micron gold plating, synonymous with quality, durability, and elegance.
In this article, we explain why this choice makes all the difference.
What is 3 micron gold plating?
Gold plating is metal jewelry (often brass or silver) covered with a thin layer of gold.
This layer of gold is measured in microns (1 micron = 0.001 mm). In Switzerland and Europe, a piece of jewelry can legally be called “gold plated” if it contains 3 microns of 18-carat gold or more.
At Kubestore.ch, all our gold-plated jewelry meets this standard of at least 3 microns.
The advantages of 3 micron gold plating
Better wear resistance
Thicker plating means the jewelry will last longer without tarnishing or chipping.
Unlike fine gold plating (often 0.5 to 1 micron), 3 micron jewelry is resistant to friction, humidity and daily use.
An appearance close to solid gold
Thanks to the thickness of the plating, the jewelry has a shine, color and luster close to solid gold, for a fraction of the price.
Hypoallergenic (if silver base or nickel-free)
Many cheap pieces of jewelry use very thin gold plating over poor quality metal.
Our jewelry is designed to be skin-friendly and nickel-free, making it suitable for most allergy sufferers.
Low-end gold plating: avoid!
Many inexpensive pieces of jewelry are plated with only 0.3 to 1 micron of gold.
