At Shelly Jewels, we cherish the timeless allure of Indian gold plated jewelry, which combines the rich aesthetics of traditional Indian craftsmanship with modern affordability. These pieces, crafted with a base metal coated in a layer of gold, offer a luxurious look perfect for weddings, festivals, or everyday elegance. Before you invest in gold plated jewelry, understanding key aspects can help you make informed choices. This guide from Shelly Jewels outlines essential things to know before buying Indian gold plated jewelry to ensure you select pieces that suit your style and needs.
Gold plated jewelry consists of a base metal, such as brass, copper, or sterling silver, coated with a thin layer of gold through electroplating. The thickness of the gold layer, measured in microns, affects the durability and appearance. At Shelly Jewels, our Gold Plated Kundan Sets and CZ Chokers use high-quality plating (typically 1–2 microns or more) to ensure a lasting, radiant finish.
What to Know: Check the micron thickness of the gold plating (higher microns mean better durability) and ensure the base metal is hypoallergenic for skin safety. Shelly Jewels uses skin-friendly alloys to minimize irritation.
Indian gold plated jewelry is renowned for its intricate designs, often inspired by Mughal, Rajasthani, or temple artistry. Quality craftsmanship ensures the piece looks authentic and withstands wear. Our Shelly Jewels Temple Jewellery and Kundan Jhumkas feature detailed engravings, secure stone settings, and durable clasps for longevity.
What to Know: Inspect the craftsmanship for smooth finishes, secure settings for stones (like kundan or CZ), and sturdy clasps. Choose reputable brands like Shelly Jewels for assured quality and detailed product descriptions.
Indian gold plated jewelry comes in a variety of styles to suit different occasions and preferences:
Kundan-Inspired: Our Shelly Jewels Kundan Bridal Sets feature gold-plated settings with imitation kundan stones, perfect for weddings.
Temple Jewellery: Temple Bangles and Necklaces with deity motifs suit traditional ceremonies.
Contemporary Designs: Gold Plated CZ Pendants or Minimal Chokers blend modern aesthetics with Indian flair for everyday wear.
Oxidized Gold Plated: Oxidized Jhumkas offer a vintage look for bohemian or ethnic outfits.
What to Know: Identify the style that matches your aesthetic and occasion. For example, choose Bridal Sets for weddings or Minimal Pendants for casual wear.
Gold plated jewelry requires proper care to maintain its shine and prevent the gold layer from wearing off. Shelly Jewels designs pieces with durable plating, but care is essential for longevity:
Clean Gently: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after each use. For deeper cleaning, use mild soapy water and dry thoroughly, avoiding harsh chemicals.
Store Properly: Keep in a soft pouch or airtight box to prevent scratches or tarnishing. Store separately from other jewelry to avoid friction.
Avoid Exposure: Remove before applying perfumes, lotions, swimming, or engaging in activities involving sweat or humidity.
What to Know: Understand the care requirements to ensure your Shelly Jewels Gold Plated Bangles or Chokers remain vibrant. Higher Micron plating offers better resistance to wear.
Unlike solid gold jewelry, gold plated pieces are more affordable and require fewer resources, making them a sustainable choice. Shelly Jewels prioritizes eco-conscious practices, using responsibly sourced base metals and high-quality plating to create pieces like our Eco-Friendly Gold Plated Necklaces.
What to Know: Gold plated jewelry is ideal for those seeking budget-friendly luxury without the environmental impact of mining. Verify that the brand follows ethical practices, as Shelly Jewels does.
Indian gold plated jewelry is versatile, complementing both traditional and Western outfits:
Weddings: Pair Shelly Jewels Kundan Bridal Sets with lehengas or sarees for a regal look.
Festivals: Style Temple Jhumkas or Oxidized Bangles with anarkalis for festive celebrations like Diwali.
Casual Wear: Wear Gold Plated CZ Pendants with kurtis or dresses for a chic, everyday look.
What to Know: Consider your wardrobe and the occasions you’ll wear the jewelry for. Choose bold pieces for festive events and minimal designs for daily wear.
With the popularity of gold plated jewelry, it’s crucial to buy from trusted sellers to avoid low-quality pieces with thin plating or poor craftsmanship.
