Gold Plating Gold
plating is widely used in jewelry making.
A base metal is used, usually brass, and covered with gold (between 14 and 24 carats) by an
electrical or chemical process.
To determine the quality of a gold-plated jewel, the thickness of the applied gold must be considered,
which is measured in microns.
The minimum amount is 0.3 microns and this amount is usually referred to as flash plating.
The more microns used, the greater the strength and durability of the plating.
Naturewit jewels have a 1 micron 24 carat gold plating which allows them to be worn for a long
time while maintaining the same brilliance.
This duration is also influenced by some external factors which, with some foresight and care, are possible check.
So here are some tips to keep your plated jewel perfect over time:
-Keep it in a dry place, possibly in a soft case to avoid scratches.
-Do not take a bath or shower with it.
-Remove your jewelry during a sporting activity.
-Remove your jewelry before sleeping.
- Avoid contact with cosmetic products (soaps, perfumes, creams, ...)
