Ⅰ.Appearance
The appearance of 18k gold plated jewelry is very exquisite, because its outer layer is covered with 18k gold, platinum and other precious metals, so it has a very high decorative value. In contrast, although jewelry made of ordinary materials such as silver jewelry and alloy jewelry is cheap, its appearance is far from comparable to 18k gold plated jewelry.
Ⅱ.Quality
The quality of 18k gold plated jewelry is also an eye-catching aspect. Compared with jewelry made of other materials, 18k gold plated jewelry is more wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant due to the existence of the gold plated layer. Jewelry made of other materials such as silver ornaments and alloys are more prone to oxidation and dullness. 18k gold plated jewelry can also choose high-quality diamonds, gemstones, etc. as decorations, which increases the anti-counterfeiting and value of jewelry.
Ⅲ.Price
Compared with other precious metal jewelry, 18k gold plated jewelry has a relatively low price, and at the same time it will not lose the high texture brought by precious metals. In contrast, jewelry made of platinum, palladium and other materials are more expensive in terms of price, while the price of 18k gold plated jewelry is more affordable.
Ⅳ.Maintenance
18k gold plated jewelry also has certain advantages over precious metals such as gold and silver. First of all, in daily use, 18k gold plated jewelry will not be easily oxidized and blackened like silver jewelry. Secondly, the gold plated layer avoids direct contact with the skin, and it only needs to be wiped gently to restore the luster, which is very convenient. Therefore, 18k gold plated jewelry is also very simple in terms of maintenance.
To sum up, 18k gold plated jewelry has higher decorative value, better durability and maintenance than jewelry made of other materials, and the price is more affordable. Although 18k gold plated jewelry cannot be completely compared with precious metal jewelry, its unique advantages are unmatched by other jewelry materials, so it is favored by consumers.
