The Beauty of Gold Plated Jewellery

Meaning, Care, and Stunning Bridal Looks by Shelly Jewels’ Expert Guide


At Shelly Jewels, we believe that every piece of jewellery should tell a story of elegance and individuality, and our gold plated jewellery collection does just that. Offering the luxurious look of gold at an affordable price, gold plated jewellery has become a favorite for brides and fashion enthusiasts alike. In this guide, we explore the meaning of gold plated jewellery, how to care for it, and expert tips for styling it to create a stunning bridal look.

What Is Gold Plated Jewellery?

Gold plated jewellery features a base metal, such as brass or sterling silver, coated with a thin layer of gold through an electroplating process. This technique gives the jewellery the rich, warm glow of solid gold while keeping it budget-friendly. At Shelly Jewels, our gold plated pieces are crafted with high-quality base metals and a durable gold layer, ensuring a luxurious finish that’s perfect for everyday wear and special occasions.

Unlike solid gold, gold plated jewellery offers affordability without sacrificing style, making it a popular choice for brides seeking opulent designs and for women who love versatile, trendy pieces.

Why Choose Gold Plated Jewellery?

1. Affordable Luxury

Gold plated jewellery captures the radiance of gold at a fraction of the cost. Shelly Jewels’ gold plated collections allow you to embrace lavish designs, from intricate necklaces to bold bangles, without breaking the bank.

2. Versatile Designs

From traditional to contemporary, gold plated jewellery suits every style. Our Shelly Jewels Gold Plated Collection includes minimalist pendants, ornate bridal sets, and modern statement pieces, perfect for any occasion.

3. Ethical and Accessible

Gold plated jewellery requires fewer resources than solid gold, making it a more sustainable choice. Shelly Jewels ensures our pieces are crafted with eco-conscious practices, aligning with the values of today’s mindful consumer.

Caring for Your Gold Plated Jewellery

To keep your Shelly Jewels gold plated jewellery looking radiant, follow these care tips:

  • Clean Gently: Wipe your jewellery with a soft, dry cloth after wearing to remove oils or dirt. For deeper cleaning, use mild soapy water and a soft brush, then dry thoroughly.

  • Avoid Chemicals: Keep jewellery away from perfumes, lotions, hairsprays, or harsh cleaners, as these can wear down the gold layer over time.

  • Store Properly: Store in a soft pouch or airtight box to prevent scratches and tarnishing. Avoid storing with other jewellery to minimize friction.

  • Limit Exposure: Remove jewellery before swimming, showering, or engaging in activities that involve sweat or humidity, as these can accelerate wear on the gold plating.

With proper care, your Shelly Jewels gold plated pieces can maintain their shine for years, making them a lasting addition to your collection.

Bridal Styling Guide for Gold Plated Jewellery

Gold plated jewellery is a bridal favorite, offering the regal allure of gold with designs that complement traditional and modern wedding aesthetics. Here’s how to style Shelly Jewels’ gold plated jewellery for your big day:

1. Traditional Bridal Elegance

For a classic Indian bridal look, pair our Shelly Jewels Gold Plated Kundan Necklace Set with a red or maroon lehenga. The intricate kundan work and gold finish add royal charm, perfect for a traditional wedding. Complete the look with matching Jhumkas and a Maang Tikka for a cohesive ensemble.

2. Contemporary Bridal Chic

Modern brides can opt for our Shelly Jewels Gold Plated Minimalist Set, featuring sleek chokers or layered necklaces paired with delicate stud earrings. These pieces shine with pastel lehengas or fusion gowns, offering a fresh, elegant vibe.

3. Statement-Making Glam

For a bold bridal statement, choose our Shelly Jewels Gold Plated Chandelier Earrings or Heavy Bridal Necklace Set. These ornate designs, often adorned with pearls or gemstones, elevate vibrant bridal outfits and make you the center of attention.

4. Mix and Match for Pre-Wedding Events

For mehendi or sangeet ceremonies, mix gold plated jewellery with other materials. Pair our Shelly Jewels Gold Plated Bangles with colorful gemstone bracelets or layer a CZ-Accented Necklace with a gold plated choker for a playful, festive look.

Styling Tips:

  • Balance the Look: If wearing a heavy gold plated necklace, opt for simpler earrings or a minimal maang tikka to avoid overwhelming your outfit.

  • Coordinate with Outfit: Match the gold tone (yellow, rose, or white gold plating) to your lehenga’s embroidery for a harmonious look.

  • Highlight with Hair: Showcase intricate earrings or necklaces with an elegant updo or loose waves to let your jewellery shine.

  • Layer Thoughtfully: Combine gold plated necklaces of varying lengths for a trendy, layered effect that adds depth to your bridal ensemble.
