Gold plated jewelry consists of a layer of gold applied over a base metal. Depending on the piece, the underlying metal may include brass, copper, zinc, nickel-containing alloys, stainless steel, or other common jewelry metals.

Plating thickness and base metal composition on vintage pieces have not been independently tested or verified. Because plating naturally wears over time, gold plated jewelry should be kept away from moisture, harsh chemicals, abrasive surfaces, and prolonged friction to maximize the life of the finish.

As this is a pre-owned piece, please expect signs of age & wear.
