Gold-Plated Silver Rings
18k gold plating over solid 925 — gold look, silver price.
A gold-plated silver ring is a solid 925 sterling silver ring finished with a micron layer of 18k gold, so the base metal is genuine silver rather than brass or steel. This collection brings together anokhi's gold-plated bands, stacking sets and CZ styles — the warmth of gold at roughly a twentieth of the cost, and honest about what it is. Each ring is BIS purity-marked as 925 and the plating thickness is stated. Plating wears gradually with daily contact; keep the ring away from perfume, sanitiser and water to extend its life.
About gold-plated silver rings
Is a gold-plated silver ring real gold?
The plating is real 18k gold, but it is a thin micron layer — not solid gold. What you are buying is a solid 925 sterling silver ring with a gold finish. We state this plainly on every listing and never price or describe it as a gold ring.
How long does the gold plating last?
With normal wear, 18k micron plating on rings typically holds 8–18 months before high-contact edges begin to brighten. Rings wear faster than earrings because hands are washed constantly. Re-plating is available on request.
Is the silver underneath still hallmarked?
Yes — the base is BIS purity-marked 925 sterling silver. The gold layer sits on top of genuine silver, not on brass.
Can I wear it in water?
Better not. Water, soap, sanitiser and perfume all accelerate plating wear. Remove the ring before washing hands, swimming or applying cosmetics.
