Necklaces with Gold Plating That Actually Last
ION Gold on 316L Surgical Steel
Necklaces with Gold Plating — DANSK Copenhagen gold plated necklaces are finished with ION plating — a process that bonds gold directly onto 316L surgical steel with far greater force than standard plating. The result is a harder, more wear-resistant finish that holds its brilliance through real life. No lifting, no fading, no disappointing after a few months of wear.
Why ION Gold Outlasts Standard Gold Plating
Standard gold-plated necklaces place a thin layer of gold over a brass base. Brass tarnishes over time, which causes the gold finish to lift and fade faster than most people expect. DANSK Copenhagen gold necklaces work differently — the 316L steel base cannot tarnish, so nothing works against the gold from underneath. The ION process locks the gold on with greater force, creating a finish designed for the realities of daily wear. For a cooler tone, explore our silver necklaces in natural 316L stainless steel.
