The Benefits of Silver and Gold-Plated Jewelry over Gold-Filled and Sterling Silver

What is plated jewelry?

Plated jewelry is made up of a base metal, usually brass or copper, and is coated in a thin layer of a different metal. In the case of silver and gold-plated jewelry, a base metal would be coated in either gold or silver, and then shocked with an electric current to bind the two metals together, ensuring longevity and durability.
