18K Gold Plated Waterproof Jewellery

18K gold plated jewellery refers to jewellery crafted by applying a thin layer of 18K gold onto a base metal such as stainless steel. This process, known as electroplating, uses an electric current to bond gold ions onto the surface of the metal, creating a beautiful gold finish that ranges between 0.5 to 3 microns thick. Our 18K gold plated pieces are hypoallergenic and waterproof, making them perfect for daily wear.

There are several reasons to choose gold plated jewellery, including:

• Affordability: Get the luxurious look of gold at a fraction of the price. 18K gold plated jewellery offers the appearance of solid gold without the cost.
• Hypoallergenic & Waterproof: Our gold plated jewellery is designed to be worn daily, even for those with sensitive skin, and is resistant to water, making it durable enough for active lifestyles.
• Versatility: With a variety of base metals and designs, gold plated jewellery offers endless style possibilities for every occasion.
• On-Trend Designs: Stay fashionable without the need to invest in solid gold. Gold plated jewellery allows you to keep up with trends affordably.

The longevity of 18K gold plated jewellery depends on the thickness of the gold layer and how well the jewellery is maintained. With proper care, our gold plated pieces can last for years, retaining their beauty and shine.

To ensure your jewellery stays in pristine condition:

• Avoid Water & Chemicals: Remove your jewellery before swimming, showering, or using any harsh cleaning products.
• Gentle Cleaning: Use a soft cloth and a mild soap solution to clean your jewellery. Avoid abrasive materials that could wear down the gold layer.
• Proper Storage: Store your jewellery in a soft pouch or lined box to prevent scratches and minimise exposure to air and moisture.
• Regular Maintenance: Wipe down your jewellery after each wear to remove oils, sweat, or dirt that can accumulate.

Gold plating refers to a process in which a thin layer of gold is applied to a base metal using an electrolytic process. The base metal provides structural support while the gold plating gives the jewellery a luxurious appearance. The "18K" indicates that 18 parts of the gold used are pure, making it 75% pure gold. This allows you to enjoy the beauty of gold without the higher cost associated with solid gold jewellery.

316L stainless steel is a premium grade material known for its enhanced durability and corrosion resistance compared to regular stainless steel. While standard stainless steel may be prone to rust and wear over time, 316L is specifically designed to withstand harsh environments, making it ideal for high-quality jewellery. 316L is also hypoallergenic, ensuring comfort for those with sensitive skin. When combined with gold plating, it creates long-lasting jewellery perfect for everyday wear.

At Lily Dia, we use high-quality materials, including stainless steel as our base metal, which is hypoallergenic and ideal for sensitive skin. Our 18K gold plating is also waterproof, meaning you can wear your jewellery in various environments without worrying about tarnishing or skin irritation.
