Our silver electroplated pieces are crafted using Electro “Deposited” Plating, one of the most durable and long-lasting forms of plating. In this process, .99% pure silver is electronically magnetized and bonded to a base metal, creating a bright, resilient finish that captures the beauty of solid silver. Each piece is then given an antique finish, adding depth, texture, and vintage-inspired character. We only carry thicker, high-quality electroplated jewelry, allowing larger chains, pendants, and statement pieces to maintain their shine and durability while remaining more affordable than solid sterling silver. Occasionally, our antiqued silver pieces feature an anti-tarnish lacquer, which may transfer slightly to clothing or skin. Care & Wear: To prolong the life of your electroplated jewelry, avoid hard water, shampoos, ocean salt, chlorine, and heavy perspiration. Plated jewelry is best suited for occasional wear. Silver will naturally oxidize over time if not stored and protected properly, and the antique finish may deepen gracefully with age.
