This piece is finished with real gold plating, fused to the base metal through a process called vacuum ion plating, the most durable plating technique used in modern fine jewelry. The gold layer is applied at a microscopic scale that gives the piece the warm, lasting glow of solid gold at a fraction of the price.
Care: avoid contact with chlorine, perfume, lotion, and saltwater. Store dry in a soft pouch when not worn. With gentle handling, the finish stays brilliant for years; if it ever dulls, re-plating is a standard jewelry service.
