What does 18K gold plated over sterling silver mean?

It means the piece has a 925 sterling silver base with an 18K gold-plated surface. The plating provides the gold finish; the jewelry is not solid 18K gold. Plating thickness is not specified across this collection, so do not assume a vermeil classification.

How do you choose a gold-plated piece?

Start with the type of jewelry and the proportions you want, then compare the selected product’s measurements and price.

How do you select the gold finish and care for it?

Choose the Gold variant explicitly, because the same product page may also offer a rhodium-plated silver option. Browse gold-plated earrings for an ear stack or necklaces for a chain-led look. To help preserve the plated surface, remove jewelry before bathing or swimming, avoid perfume and cleaning products, and wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Store pieces separately to reduce rubbing. Emerald-green and black onyx-look accents use cubic zirconia, while the White Opal flat back studs use synthetic opal. Check the selected design for its stone material.

Are clear and colored stones diamonds or natural gemstones?

No. Most decorative stones are cubic zirconia; the White Opal flat back studs use synthetic white opal. Freshwater pearls are a separate material and are identified on the relevant pearl designs.

How long does gold plating last?

There is no fixed lifespan. Friction, water, perfume and cleaning products affect a plated surface. Removing jewelry before bathing or swimming and storing pieces dry and separately helps preserve the finish.

What should you check in the earring options?

Read the full quantity and side labels. Bundles such as Singles 3 Earrings or Pairs 6 Earrings follow their stated piece count; a directional design also needs the correct ear side. Head Only No Backing is the decorative top alone, intended for customers who already own the matching Marafine post and back.

Do all flat backs fasten the same way?

No. Threadless push-pin designs hold the top by tension. Tiny Bee and Tiny Snake flat backs use a screw connection instead. Match the original mechanism before buying a replacement top or post; threaded and threadless components are different.
