My Moissanite works exclusively with solid precious metals. So our jewelry is always made of solid silver, gold, or platinum. We do not do silver plating or gold plating of stainless steel. In fact, this will cause jewelry to discolor or peel off.
Gold plated means that a thin layer of gold is applied to another type of (precious) metal. This can be a layer of 10, 14, or 18 karat gold on silver or stainless steel. My Moissanite does not sell gold-plated jewelry.
Silver-plated means the same thing, but with a thin layer of 925 silver (92.5% pure silver). My Moissanite does not sell silver-plated jewelry.
Rhodium-plated means that a layer of rhodium is applied. This gives both silver and gold a beautiful, bright, white color. So silver becomes brighter, and yellow gold becomes white gold. All silver and white gold jewelry from My Moissanite is rhodium-plated.
