![]() ![]() ![]() Don’t get me wrong I don’t disagree with it, it has its place and gives a look for a lot less money so is a more consumer friendly option but for me personally it is a “fashion accessory” and not what I believe “jewellery” should be. It doesn’t last forever and in my eyes fits in to the “Fast Fashion” category. Plating for me is not the real deal, it’s what the high street stores use to mass produce and replicate designs to make the best margins and low retail prices. I try to only use solid metals however there is the option of gold filled chains due to extreme cost differences in a solid gold version on some of my chains.įilled is a higher quality than plating, plating is where a very fine coating of gold covers a base metal where as filled is a thicker layer of gold pressure bonded to to a base metal (usually sterling silver) there for meaning filled is harder wearing and will not wear off over a short period of time going discoloured quite quickly instead it will wear down over several years. ![]()
