New! GOLD PLATED ZIRCON DROP NECKLACE

New! GOLD PLATED ZIRCON DROP NECKLACE New w/out tags. In original pouch. Purchased in Paris. Never ended up using it. Gold plated thickness 3 microns. Chain size: 45 cm / 9 inches each side Pendant length: 1 cm The gold-plated jewelry that we offer is made of brass covered in a layer of 14k gold. The layer of gold placed on the jewelry is measured in microns. When a piece of jewelry is covered in 3 microns, we say that it is “Gold plated” and we place a hallmark on it to certify it. It is a thick layer guaranteeing a long hold of the plating. Though resistant to the elements of life, a piece of gold-plated jewelry is not eternal because the layer of gold can fade and thin with wear. Depending on how it is looked after, the gilding can vary from 1 to 10 years! So here are our tips for keeping the piece intact as long as possible. 1) Gold-plated jewelry has a reputation for being resistant underwater. However, to keep the shine as long as possible, it is best to avoid contact with liquids. We therefore draw your attention to rings (more often exposed to water) which are best removed before washing your hands. 2) Rubbing on rough materials as well as blows should also be avoided so as not to damage the gilding. 3) Gold plated does not need any special cleaning because gold is a material that does not move. If your jewelry turns red, it is because the layer of gold is gone, revealing the brass underneath. So let’s take care by applying our advice!
