almost like real gold jewellery without spending a fortune on it.
Goldsmiths use electricity and/or chemicals to deposit a
thin layer of gold over silver or any other metal. Usually silver or copper is
used for gold plating, as they are strong metals and can hold the gold layer
easily. But lot of people have this question that, gold plated chains are
durable or not?

tarnished, but if you care for it properly, you can have shiny chains for
longer time. Here are few tips that will help you:
·
Don’t allow the jewellery to get in touch with
any chemical, especially perfumes, spray or deodorants.
·

jewellery.

with cotton or cloth, so that dust particles are removed from the jewellery. It
also helps keep the shine as it is and protects the gold layer.
