What Is Micron Gold Plating?

Micron gold plating is the process of covering a piece of jewelry with a layer of real gold at a specified thickness. The term “micron” refers to the thickness of the plating, where 1 micron is one-thousandth of a millimeter. For example, a 2-micron gold plating means that the piece is coated with a 2-micron thick layer of pure gold.

Why Is It Important?

The thickness of the gold layer, measured in microns, directly affects the durability of your jewelry.

• Below 0.5 microns: Typically used in fashion jewelry and may wear off quickly.
• 1 micron and above: Suitable for daily wear, offering better longevity.
• 2-3 microns: Preferred for high-quality gold-plated products, maintaining its look for years when properly cared for.

Micron Plating vs. Standard Gold Plating

Many “gold plated” products on the market have very thin layers of gold, and a specific micron measurement is often not provided. At Euphorist.co, we clearly state the micron thickness on our products. This transparency ensures that you know exactly what you’re purchasing and can anticipate the longevity of your jewelry.

How to Care for Micron Gold Plated Jewelry

Because micron gold plating is a delicate process, proper care is essential for long-lasting beauty:

• Keep your jewelry away from perfumes, creams, and alcohol, as chemicals can affect the plating.
• Remove your jewelry before showering or swimming.
• Regularly clean your piece with a soft cloth.
