Gold Plated Necklaces FAQs

What is 18K gold?

18K gold contains 75% pure gold blended with other metals for strength. Francesca’s jewellery is plated with 14k gold, offering the look of an 18k gold necklace in a more accessible, everyday format.

How is 18K gold different from other types of gold?

18K gold is richer in tone than 14K and more durable than 24K. Francesca uses 14k gold plating to capture the warm tone of an 18k gold necklace, combining it with thoughtful design and durability.

Can I wear a gold-plated necklace every day?

Yes, Francesca’s gold-plated necklaces are made for daily wear. To maintain their finish, we recommend removing them before showering, exercising, or applying lotions and perfumes.

Are your gold-plated necklaces hypoallergenic?

Yes. Our jewellery is nickel-free and suitable for most skin types, making it a gentle choice for everyday wear, even when paired with sensitive-skin-friendly options like pearl stud earrings.

How often should I clean my necklace?

Wipe it gently with a soft cloth after wearing. To make yours last longer, store your necklace in a dry pouch or jewellery box to preserve the gold plating.

Does gold plating tarnish or fade?

Gold plating may fade over time with exposure to moisture or chemicals. Taking care of your necklace will help extend its life and maintain its shine.
