18K Gold Plated Stainless Steel: The Unsung Hero of the Jewellery World
Gold jewellery symbolizes luxury, but the price tag isn't always a vibe. Drumroll.... enter 18K gold plated stainless steel, an affordable and stylish alternative that’s often misunderstood. Here’s why it’s a mighty fine choice regardless of what old mate at the gold dealers has to say 🤭👇🏼✨
It's a sneaky camouflage for the real deal...
18K gold plated stainless steel offers the look of solid gold without the hefty price tag. This allows you to own larger, statement pieces like chunky necklaces and bold earrings that would otherwise be too spenny 💰 We all know that the top tier option would be solid gold, but sometimes the mortgage takes priority (sigh).
It's strong, like the straps on a supre tote bag you used in the 2000's to hold your school books... (IYKYK).
Stainless steel is strong and resistant to tarnish, making it a durable base for gold plating. The 18K gold layer provides a rich, golden hue that’s shiny and luxe. With proper care, these pieces can last for years.
It's super easy to care for (like your childhood goldfish)
Unlike solid gold, which can warp and scratch easily (as it is a soft metal), 18K gold plated stainless steel is more resilient. By avoiding harsh chemicals and utilising proper storage you'll keep your jewellery looking new. If you are storing it for a long time, bang it into an air tight bag or container for maximum jewellery health benefits 🤭
It aint the villian here...
18K gold plated stainless steel is not a villain but a smart, stylish choice. It offers the luxury of gold at a fraction of the cost and the durability to last. Try it for yourself and enjoy feeling like a baddie without doing the time 🥷🏼
