The Gold-Finish Edit

Gold-plated earrings are earrings with a thin layer of gold electroplated over a base metal, worn for the look of gold at a lower price than solid gold.

At Satéur, a pair of diamond-look gold-finish earrings starts at $88 — where solid 14k gold earrings often run $150–$1,500+. Instead of a thin plating over a cheap alloy, we use an 18k gold finish over nickel-free 925 sterling silver — a quality hypoallergenic base — set with Satéur Gems® graded D–E colour with an Excellent cut, so each pair reads as fine gold and flawless diamonds across the table.

Know the difference: gold-plated means a thin gold layer electroplated over a base metal, gold-filled bonds a thicker layer, and solid gold is gold throughout. A Satéur 18k gold finish over sterling silver sits at the quality end of plated — far better than the base-alloy plated earrings you will see elsewhere, and gentle on sensitive ears with no nickel and no green marks.

The stones are the real upgrade. Satéur Gems® rate 9.25 on the Mohs scale — second only to diamond — grade D–E in colour, and return more fire and brilliance, holding their sparkle for life under the Satéur lifetime guarantee.

Shop studs, hoops and drops in a warm gold finish, day to night. Keep the finish away from perfume, sweat and water and it stays brilliant far longer.

Questions

Gold Plated Earrings, answered.

What are gold-plated earrings?+

Gold-plated earrings have a thin layer of gold electroplated over a base metal for the look of gold at a lower price. Satéur uses a higher-quality version — an 18k gold finish over nickel-free 925 sterling silver — set with diamond-look Satéur Gems® from $88.

How long do gold-plated earrings last?+

It depends on the base and care. A thin plating over a cheap alloy can wear within months; an 18k gold finish over nickel-free 925 sterling silver lasts far longer, especially if you keep it away from perfume, sweat and water.

Are gold-plated earrings good for sensitive ears?+

Only if the base metal is nickel-free. Satéur's 18k gold finish sits over nickel-free 925 sterling silver, so it is hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive ears — no nickel, no green marks.

Gold-plated vs gold-filled vs solid gold — what's the difference?+

Gold-plated is a thin electroplated layer, gold-filled bonds a thicker layer, and solid gold is gold throughout. Satéur uses an 18k gold finish over 925 sterling silver — the look of fine gold from $88 instead of $150–$1,500+ for solid.

Do gold-plated earrings tarnish?+

A finish can dull over time, mostly from contact with perfume, sweat and water. Stored dry and kept off chemicals, a Satéur 18k gold finish over sterling silver keeps its warmth for far longer.

How much do Satéur gold-finish earrings cost?+

From $88 a pair — versus $150–$1,500+ for solid gold. Each pair arrives in the signature Satéur box.
