What Are 925 + 18K Pendants?
925 + 18K Pendants are made by coating genuine 925 sterling silver with a luxurious layer of 18 karat gold—typically through a process called electroplating. This creates the stunning appearance of solid gold while maintaining the durability and affordability of silver underneath.
Key Features of 925 + 18K Pendants:
- Base Metal: 925 sterling silver (92.5% pure silver)
- Top Layer: 18k Yellow Gold Plated for radiant shine
- Finish: High-polish or satin depending on the design
- Nickel-Free & Hypoallergenic: Safe for most skin types
- Gold Look Without Gold Price: Ideal for style-conscious shoppers
This fusion of materials gives you the best of both worlds: the luxury of gold with the reliability and value of silver.
