Gold Stainless Steel Earrings?

The term "composite gold" typically refers to a layer or blend of gold plating or coating applied over a base metalin this case, stainless steel. These earrings are not solid gold, but they look like gold thanks to high-quality surface finishes.

They are:

• Made from 304 or 316L stainless steel

• Coated or plated with gold (often via PVD, ion plating, or electroplating)

• Shiny, mirror-polished for a premium feel

• Designed to mimic 14k or 18k gold aesthetics

Why Use Stainless Steel as a Base?

Stainless steel is:

• Waterproof and sweatproof

• Low maintenance no tarnishing or polishing needed

• Durable and scratch-resistant

• Cost-effective

• Hypoallergenic (especially 316L grade surgical stainless)
