Gold has always been one of the most popular metals for jewelry, and is especially revered thanks to its rarity compared to other metals. For instance, the world pours more steel in an hour than it has gold since time began. A mind-boggling fact if ever there was one!

If you love gold but find it too pricey, gold-plated jewelry has always been the simplest solution.

Gold-plated jewelry involves creating a thin veneer of the yellow metal on your products by electroplating it. Although gold is renowned for being a soft metal, this creates a strong layer that provides an attractive finish for any product. The downside is that, unlike with gold-filled jewelry, this layer can wear-away over time, which is why gold-plated jewelry is much cheaper.

Although gold-filled jewelry is of course of a higher quality, gold-plated products are ideal for consumers who aren’t looking to splash out. Lower karats of gold are also ideal for those who wish to manufacture affordable gold pieces. Strangely, pure gold is not a fantastic way of manufacturing jewelry because it is simply too soft.
