18K Gold Custom Necklace – Is the 18K gold solid or plated?

At Sairahaz Jewelers, our 18K gold custom necklaces are available in both solid and plated versions, allowing you to choose the option that fits your budget and lifestyle. Solid 18K gold has a deeper, richer tone than 14K gold due to its higher gold content, and it will never tarnish or lose its color. It is slightly softer than 14K gold, meaning it should be stored carefully to avoid unnecessary scratches—but with normal wear, it will last for generations. For plated versions, we use premium gold layering over stainless steel or sterling silver, but all plating will eventually wear down with frequent use. All of our solid gold 18K pieces come with a certificate of authenticity so you can be confident you’re receiving genuine gold. If you want the warmest gold tone and a true heirloom-quality necklace, solid 18K gold is the ultimate choice.
