France has long been recognized for its excellence in the arts and crafts and luxury goods. Among these exceptional skills, 24-carat gold plating occupies a special place, combining tradition, innovation and refinement. French gold-plated jewelry embodies not only elegance, but also durability and artisanal precision. Let's discover together the fascinating world of this technique and what makes it a true French art.

Gold plating is more than just a jewelry technique. It embodies ancestral know-how that spans the ages and shines a spotlight on French craftsmanship. At GISEL B , each piece of jewelry is a unique piece, a testament to a commitment to quality, durability, and aesthetics. Today, we invite you to dive into the world of 24-carat gold plating, a symbol of excellence and elegance.

What is 24 Carat Gold Plated?

Gold plating is a process that involves covering a metal base (often brass or silver) with a thin layer of gold. This layer is applied by electrolysis or immersion, giving a luxurious and precious finish to the piece.

At GISEL B , we have chosen to work with 24 carat gold plating at 3 microns , guaranteeing excellent resistance to wear and lasting shine. 24 carat represents pure gold, renowned for its warm and intense hue that enhances each piece of jewelry.

Why Choose 24 Carat Gold Plated?

1. Incomparable Brilliance:
24 karat gold has a rich, deep color that is difficult to achieve with other types of gilding. Its natural shine highlights the shapes and details of jewelry.

2. Enhanced Sustainability:
The 24 carat gold plating at 3 microns ensures excellent resistance over time. Unlike other less thick techniques, this thickness protects the jewel from daily wear and tear, preventing rapid alteration of the color.

3. An Accessible Luxury:
Gold plating offers the aesthetics of solid gold at a lower price. It allows everyone to afford refined jewelry, without compromising on quality.

The Manufacturing Process

1. Selection of Materials:
It all starts with choosing a high-quality metal base.
At GISEL B , we mainly use brass or silver, materials known for their strength.

2. Gilding:
The jewels are dipped in 24-carat gold baths. This process is meticulous and requires perfect mastery to ensure an even distribution of the gold.

3. Quality Control:
Each piece of jewelry is then inspected under a magnifying glass to ensure an impeccable finish. We ensure that the gilding is uniform and that the piece of jewelry faithfully reflects our commitment to excellence.

Working with 24-carat gold plating also means perpetuating a French artisanal tradition. At GISEL B , each piece of jewelry is thought out, designed and handcrafted in our workshop. This precision work calls upon technical gestures passed down from generation to generation.
