Gold Plated Necklace

At Satéur, a gold plated necklace with a Satéur Gems® stone starts at $88 — roughly 1% of the price of an equivalent solid-gold, mined-diamond pendant, which retails from $2,000 upwards. Each stone is graded D–E colour with an Excellent cut, so it reads as a flawless diamond across the table and to the naked eye. Unlike a standard gold plated piece over a brass base, every Satéur necklace is finished in a lasting 18k gold over a nickel-free 925 sterling silver core — a higher-grade base metal that holds the finish longer and keeps the piece hypoallergenic. Free worldwide delivery and a lifetime guarantee are included.

The distinction between standard gold plated jewelry and Satéur's construction matters in daily wear. Typical gold plated pieces apply 0.5 microns or less of gold over a brass or copper base; the plating wears through at friction points within weeks or months, exposing the base metal and causing discolouration. Satéur's 18k gold finish over nickel-free 925 sterling silver bonds more durably and holds its colour through regular wear — store separately, remove before swimming, and wipe dry after use for the longest life. No green marks. No irritation. Safe for sensitive skin.

The stones are Satéur Gems® and moissanite — both extremely durable, built for everyday wear — and returning more fire and brilliance than a mined diamond at the same carat weight. Unlike gold plated pendant necklaces set with cubic zirconia, which cloud and lose their sparkle within a year, both Satéur Gems® and moissanite are brilliant for life under the included lifetime guarantee. A comparable diamond pendant in solid gold would command $5,000–$20,000; Satéur delivers the same colour grade and fire from $88.

The gold plated necklace collection covers fine pendant styles in round brilliant and cushion cuts, chain necklace designs in varying link weights, charm necklace drops, earrings and bracelet companions for a coordinated look, and layering necklaces at 16 to 22 inches. The range includes gold plated jewelry in yellow gold and white gold finishes, with pendant settings from delicate 0.5ct to bold 2ct Satéur Gems® stones. Every piece ships in the signature Satéur box, ready to gift.
