Gold-plated jewelry, or gold plating by layer
The FC Joias gold plating by layer option lets customers choose how much gold is applied to their costume jewelry. The customer chooses the thickness of the gold layer that will cover the piece's base material, taking into account how it affects both appearance and price.
The most frequently requested pieces on the market are gold-plated semi-jewelry, because of the elegance they convey. Their high quality comes from the complementary applications carried out during layered gold plating, which uses only alloys of the finest metals.
So-called gold-plated semi-jewelry refers to pieces that go through gold plating by layer. In Portuguese, “folhear” (to plate) is the term used when the customer can choose how much gold is applied, which determines the thickness of the gold layer on the costume jewelry. The layer thickness affects the appearance, shine and strength of the piece. Choosing a thinner or thicker layer also affects how long the plating lasts.
The options for gold plating by layer range from a “gold flash”, a thin layer of gold on the piece (comparable to the thickness of a human hair), up to thicker layers. The thicker the layer, the more evident the qualities of gold become, and the longer the piece lasts.
