Gold and Silver Plated Jewellery

Some outfits look finished. Others just sit there, a little flat, until you add the right piece. That last touch is what our gold- and silver-plated jewellery is for.

Our plated jewellery collection includes necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and rings, in warm yellow gold and cool silver to match your mood. We have been an Australian name since 1948, so we have had plenty of practice picking pieces worth coming back to.

These are the pieces you reach for on a quiet Tuesday. The same ones that come out on Saturday night.

What Is Plated Jewellery?

Plated jewellery is a base metal coated with a fine layer of a precious metal, usually gold or silver. Our pieces are designed in Australia on a zinc alloy base, then finished with 12 karat gold or genuine 925 sterling silver plating for the look of solid metal at a wearable price.

The gold plating gives that warm, sunny tone that flatters most skin tones and lifts a simple outfit. Our silver sits cooler and sharper, the kind of shine that works with everything from a white tee to a slip dress. Both give you the feel of fine jewellery without the fine jewellery commitment.

Is Plated Jewellery Good Quality?

Plated jewellery is a smart everyday choice when you look after it. Built for daily wear, layering and dressing up, these are pieces made to be worn often rather than saved for one occasion. Treat them well, and they hold their shine.

Think of it as the jewellery you actually use, not the kind that stays in a box. If you want to see how a piece sits before you buy, you can find our range across more than 150 stores around the country.

Does Plated Jewellery Tarnish?

Yes, plated jewellery can tarnish over time because the plating is a fine surface layer that slowly wears with everyday contact. The usual culprits are water, perfume, sweat, body lotions and household chemicals, which all dull the finish faster.

Taking pieces off before you shower, swim or work out, and letting perfume dry first keeps them looking newer for longer. Making pieces worth holding onto is the kind of thinking we share with the rest of the Sussan Group, our certified B Corp parent.

How Do You Style Gold and Silver Plated Jewellery?

Styling gold and silver plated jewellery comes down to three easy moves: layer a few necklaces at different lengths, mix gold and silver instead of matching everything, and tie your metals to the other pieces you are wearing.

The same pieces shift easily from day to night:

1. Keep it simple with a chain bracelet, a fine gold-plated necklace and a couple of slim gold-plated rings for denim and a tee.

2. Sit a chain necklace with a locket or pendant necklace at different lengths for a layered neckline that still feels easy, or start from a jewellery pack.

3. Mix in some plated silver jewellery when you want a cooler-toned stack instead of all-gold warmth.

4. Reach for statement earrings like drop earrings or chunky hoop earrings, and let them carry a night-out look.

5. Match a metal to your other accessories, so rose gold sunnies pull out a warmer tone and your silver picks up a watch.

Pieces you already own slot in easily, too, like simple stud earrings or a pair of pearl earrings. Because we design our jewellery, clothing, bags and sunnies in-house, your pieces are made to mix from the start.

How Do You Clean Gold and Silver Plated Jewellery?

Clean plated jewellery by buffing it gently with a soft jewellery polishing cloth, which lifts dullness and light marks without stripping the plating. Skip water, abrasive cloths and harsh cleaners, since these wear the finish down faster than they clean it.

Stored well, your pieces stay brighter between wears. Keep them somewhere cool and dry, ideally a soft pouch or a lined box, and store gold and silver separately so they do not rub against each other.
