Basic findings in 925 sterling silver and 18K gold-plated silver

Basic findings for your jewellery

Basic findings in 925 sterling silver and 18K gold-plated silver. Combine chains, clasps, jump rings, crimps, wire and pins. Match finishes, openings and thicknesses.

Our silver findings have a 925 sterling silver base with a gold-plated surface. 925 means the alloy contains 92.5% silver. 18K gold-plated silver describes a layer of 18-carat gold over silver, not solid gold. These terms describe the base and plating, not two separate material ranges. Check each product for finish, dimensions and variants.

Look for the E-coated 18k 925 label. 925 refers to sterling silver, 18k to the gold plating and E-coated to an additional protective surface treatment. E-coating alone means neither silver nor gold plating and does not make the coating wear-proof.

Care for 18K gold-plated silver by wiping gently with a soft cloth and storing pieces dry and separately. Avoid perfume, chlorine, salt water, silver dips and abrasive polishing on the surface. Plating can wear; do not polish gold-plated pieces as if they were uncoated sterling silver.
