What is Gold-Plated Silver? Discover It (and Try It!) at Krisna Silver Class Uluwatu
When it comes to jewelry, we often hear terms like “gold-plated,” “sterling silver,” or “solid gold”—but what do they really mean? If you’re exploring unique jewelry experiences in Bali, especially at Krisna Silver Class Uluwatu, understanding the difference can make your creation even more special.
Let’s break it down: What exactly is gold-plated silver, and why is it so popular? Better yet—did you know you can make your own gold-plated silver jewelry right here in Bali?
So, What is Gold-Plated Silver?
Gold-plated silver—also known as vermeil when done with high standards—is jewelry made from sterling silver (92.5% silver) that has been coated with a thin layer of gold. This gives you the best of both worlds:
💛 The beauty and glow of gold
🩶 The strength and affordability of silver
It’s a popular choice for those who love the look of gold but want something more accessible and budget-friendly than solid gold.
The gold layer is applied using a method called electroplating, which fuses the gold onto the surface of the silver. With proper care, gold-plated silver jewelry can last for years and maintain its luxurious shine.
Why Choose Gold-Plated Silver?
Affordable luxury – Looks like gold, costs much less
Lightweight – Easier to wear for everyday use
Elegant finish – Perfect for gifting or special occasions
Customizable – Ideal for handmade, personalized designs
