Affordable Luxury Redefined: The Benefits of Our 18K Gold Infused Jewelry compared to Gold Plated Jewellery
Why HACKNEY NINE Uses 18K Gold Infused Jewelry Instead of Gold Plating
When you’re shopping for gold jewelry, the choices can be overwhelming—gold plated, gold filled, solid gold, and now, 18K gold infused. So what sets them apart, and why does it matter?
At HACKNEY NINE, we’re committed to creating jewelry that’s more than just beautiful—it’s made to last, shine, and elevate your everyday. That’s why we exclusively use 18K Gold Infused jewelry, not traditional gold plated alternatives.
In this article, we’ll break down the key differences between 18K gold infused and gold plated jewelry, and explain why HACKNEY NINE’s gold infused pieces are a smarter, longer-lasting choice for your jewelry collection.
What Is 18K Gold Infused Jewelry?
18K Gold Infused jewelry features a thick, heat-bonded layer of genuine 18 karat gold, permanently fused onto a high-quality base metal. This method ensures a durable, luxurious finish that doesn’t fade or flake like standard gold plating.
Unlike gold-plated jewelry, where the gold layer is ultra-thin and prone to wearing off, gold infused jewelry offers the richness of solid gold at a fraction of the price—making it the perfect balance of quality, value, and everyday wearability.
18K Gold Infused vs. Gold Plated Jewelry: What's the Difference?
If you’ve ever bought gold-plated jewelry that lost its shine or turned your skin green, you're not alone. Here’s how 18K gold infused compares:
| Feature | 18K Gold Infused Jewelry | Gold Plated Jewelry |
|---|---|---|
| Gold Layer | Thick, pressure-bonded 18K gold | Thin electroplated coating |
| Durability | Highly resistant to tarnish, sweat, and wear | Wears off easily over time |
| Appearance | Authentic 18K gold tone | Initially shiny, fades quickly |
| Longevity | Years with everyday use | Months or less with frequent wear |
| Skin Friendly | Hypoallergenic and non-reactive | May cause irritation once plating wears |
| Value | Affordable alternative to solid gold | Budget-friendly, but short lifespan |
Why HACKNEY NINE Doesn’t Use Gold Plating (or avoid buying gold-plated jewellery)
At HACKNEY NINE, we believe jewelry should do more than look good—it should last. That’s why we’ve chosen 18K gold infused craftsmanship for every piece we design.
Here’s what you can expect from our jewelry:
-
Shower-proof, sweat-proof, and sleep-safe
-
Resistant to tarnish, peeling, or green skin
-
Crafted with conscious materials and timeless design
-
Long-lasting luster with minimal maintenance
Gold plated jewelry, while inexpensive, is designed for short-term wear. The ultra-thin coating often fades within weeks or months, leading to disappointment and waste. With HACKNEY NINE's gold infused pieces, you’ll enjoy years of wear without compromising on style or sustainability.
Jewelry That Looks Good and Lives Well
Our mission is simple: to create everyday luxury without compromise. With 18K gold infused metals, we’re redefining what modern gold jewelry can be—accessible, enduring, and authentically beautiful.
Whether you're layering necklaces, stacking rings, or gifting someone special, our pieces are built to keep up with your lifestyle—and look stunning doing it.
