Gold Polish Jewellery Guide
Share
Gold Polish jewellery (also called Gold Finish or GP jewellery) is imitation jewellery coated with a layer of 24-karat gold through electroplating or similar processes. It gives you the rich, warm look of real gold at a small fraction of the price — making it the most popular choice for everyday ethnic jewellery in India.
What Is Gold Polish / Gold Finish?
In the context of imitation jewellery, Gold Polish means the base metal (usually brass, copper or zinc alloy) has been coated with a thin layer of gold through electroplating. The thickness and quality of this gold layer determines how long the polish lasts.
Standard gold polish lasts 6-12 months with regular wear. Premium gold polish (sometimes called 1-gram gold or micro gold plating) can last 2-3 years with proper care.

How to Make Gold Polish Jewellery Last Longer
With the right care, your gold polish jewellery will retain its shine for much longer:
Do:
• Store in a clean, dry jewellery box or pouch away from moisture
• Wipe gently with a dry soft cloth after each wear
• Wear your jewellery last — after applying perfume, hairspray and makeup
• Take off jewellery before bathing, swimming or exercising
Avoid:
• Contact with water, sweat, perfume or chemicals
• Rubbing against rough surfaces
• Storing multiple pieces loose together (causes scratching)
Gold Polish vs Gold Plated — What Is the Difference?
In Indian jewellery terminology, Gold Polish and Gold Plated are often used interchangeably. However, some sellers use Gold Polish specifically for a matte or brushed gold finish, while Gold Plated refers to a shinier, more reflective coating.
