Curated Essentials
Rose gold plated necklaces built on solid 925 sterling silver — dainty chains for layering, filigree pendants, and gemstone drops in a warm blush tone.
Rose gold gets its colour from copper in the alloy. The warmth reads softer than yellow gold and tends to flatter cooler and fairer skin tones, though in practice it sits comfortably against most.
Looking after plated pieces
Plating is a surface layer, so it wears where there is friction — clasps, the back of a pendant, anywhere a chain rubs. To keep the colour even, put jewellery on last after perfume and lotion, take it off before showering or swimming, and clean it with a dry soft cloth rather than silver dip, which strips plating.
