Gold Plated Jewellery: The Affordable Way to Shine
If you love the look of real gold but don’t want to spend thousands, gold plated jewellery is a beautiful and budget-friendly option. It's one of the most popular jewellery types — and for good reason.
Gold plating is a technique where a layer of real gold is bonded to a base metal like brass or stainless steel. At first glance, it’s almost impossible to tell the difference between gold plated and solid gold. But not all gold plated jewellery is created equal.
Why JOGAMI’s Gold Plated Jewellery Is Different
Most fashion jewellery brands use only 0.5 to 2.5 microns of gold when plating their pieces. At JOGAMI, we use 10 microns of 18k gold. That’s up to 20x more gold, meaning better shine, longer wear, and greater durability.
We don’t cut corners — our pieces are designed to be worn, loved, and enjoyed for years.
Will Gold Plated Jewellery Tarnish?
Over time and with frequent use, the gold layer may begin to wear off. This is completely normal with gold plated pieces. Once the layer fades, you can choose to replate it or replace the item. The only type of gold that never tarnishes is solid gold — but that comes at a significantly higher price point.
How to Care for Gold Plated Jewellery: 6 Easy Tips
To keep your JOGAMI jewellery looking beautiful for as long as possible, follow these simple care tips:
1. Store it safely
Use a jewellery box, satin pouch, or even a ziplock bag to prevent dust and air exposure.
2. Avoid perfumes and lotions
Chemicals and oils in beauty products can break down the plating over time.
3. Take off when doing chores
Cleaning products and soaps are harsh on gold plating — best to remove your jewellery while cleaning.
4. Don’t swim with it
Chlorinated and salty water can fade the gold layer. Remove your pieces before swimming or soaking.
5. Clean it gently
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe your jewellery after each wear. Our JOGAMI magic cleaning cloth is perfect for this.
6. Be mindful with wear
Try not to rub or scratch your jewellery unnecessarily to prolong its shine and beauty.
