Precautions For Gold Plated Earrings
Precautions For Gold Plated Earrings
If you're a new parent or have already purchased a pair of gold plated earrings, here are a few tips for keeping your baby's earrings looking like new. Read on to learn more about gold plating, how to clean them, and why vermeil is a better option than gold-plated jewelry. There are several important factors to consider before choosing gold-plated jewelry for your child, and there are some special precautions you should take to prevent damage to your baby's delicate skin.
Durability of gold plated jewelry
The wearability of gold plated jewelry depends on the type. Compared to gold filled jewelry, gold plated jewelry is more likely to tarnish. Gold filled jewelry can last for many years, while gold plated earrings will likely tarnish faster. If they are constantly exposed to water and chemicals, they may need to be cleaned with harsh detergents. A thick layer of gold will also prevent tarnishing, whereas a thin layer will wear off quickly and expose the core metal.
Choosing gold plated earrings for babies
If your child wears jewelry, you might want to consider buying gold plated baby earrings. These are especially safe for baby ears since they don't poke the earlobe. Studs, hoops, and dangles are all good options for babies. The posts are short so they won't hurt baby's ears and they're safe for a toddler to wear. Whether you choose a stud, hoops, or dangle style, choose ones that are not too heavy and will fit well on your child's earlobe.
Precautions when buying gold plated earrings
Gold plated earrings are not a better choice for everyday wear than solid gold ones. These earrings are made of a thin layer of gold that offers some protection against tarnishing but may also be allergic to nickel. Fortunately, there are some ways to avoid getting a reaction to gold plated jewelry. Listed below are a few of the most important precautions to take when buying gold plated earrings.
Choosing vermeil over gold plated jewelry
If you are looking for an affordable luxury that will last for years, gold vermeil is the way to go. Vermeil is a gold-plated metal that is more precious than solid gold. In fact, gold is about 75 times more expensive than sterling silver. Its price is lower than gold plate jewelry, but solid gold is still expensive. So, how can you choose between the two? Read on to find out!
Nickel content of vermeil versus gold plated jewelry
There are several differences between vermeil and gold-plated earrings. Vermeil is a more expensive option, while gold-plated earrings are not. Unlike gold-plated earrings, vermeil is made from a base metal that has been lightly plated with gold. Typically, this base metal is sterling silver, a durable, hypoallergenic metal. Gold-plated jewelry may have traces of nickel, but these are not enough to cause an allergic reaction.
