What Is 18K Gold Plated Sterling Silver?
A necklace made from 18k gold plated sterling silver consists of a core of 925 sterling silver—the industry standard for high-quality silver jewelry—coated with a rich layer of 18 karat gold. This plating process gives you the brilliant shine of real gold while keeping the item lightweight, durable, and cost-effective.
It’s an ideal solution for jewelry lovers who want the best of both worlds: the classic luster of gold and the reliability of silver.
