Are gold-plated hoops real gold?
Gold-plated hoop earrings are not the same as solid gold hoops. But hey, they aren’t fake either! In fact, the base material chosen is usually premium-quality sterling silver, brass or copper.
The hoop earring is handcrafted in beautiful designs using any of these metals and then electroplated with 0.5 to 3 microns of 24k, 22k, 18k or 14k gold. The thicker the coating, the longer it will last.
Gold plating lasts 2 to 3 years, or even longer if you take good care of it. After that, you may need to take the hoops need for replating.
Just like the solid gold hoop earrings, gold-plated hoop earrings have variations in their gold tone: warm yellow, elegant white, and romantic rose gold.

Gold-plated hoops with…
Gemstones
These are usually a go-to choice if you’re looking for a bit of colour and shimmer. The hoop can be of large or small diameter, pavé-set with gemstones covering the surface, or set with single or multiple gemstones. Gold-plated hoops are usually set in semi-precious stones like zirconia, turquoise, agate, quartz, tiger eye, opals and freshwater pearls.
Sculptural and organic hoop shapes
Closest to natural forms, sculptural earrings are unique, each one unlike the other. That’s one reason sculptural hoop pairs can never be identical.
Gold plated hoop earrings with pendants
For a dash of cheerful chic, go for hoops that sport mini pendants. From dainty alphabets to flower designs, timeless pearl drops, and nature-inspired diamond pendants, there’s almost nothing we have not included in our earring-pendant collections suitable for hoop earrings.
Square hoop designs
Sounds contradictory, right? That’s why it’s so unique! Contemporary and bold, square hoops are a modern take on traditional hoops. The square is designed to gently curve around the edges to soften the harsh corners of a typical square.
Double loops
As the name suggests, these attractive hoops give the impression of two separate ones in one ear piercing but are actually single hoops.
Caring for gold-plated hoop earrings
The dos...
♥ It is important to buy gold-plated jewelry from a reputed, trusted jewelry brand because this ensures premium quality gold-plating, along with a guarantee that the layer of gold will not wear off quickly with a little TLC.
♥ After removing your gold-plated hoops, wipe them with a clean jewelry cloth to get rid of any dirt or moisture.
♥ Always place the hoops in a dry place. Wrap them in a soft pouch to secure them from scratches, before placing them in your jewelry box.
… and the don’ts
♥ Avoid wearing your gold-plated jewelry in the shower, swimming pools, sauna and gym.
♥ Exposure to perfume, hair products, cosmetics, oils and lotions reduces the life of gold-plated jewelry.
