What is Demi-Fine Jewellery?

Demi-fine jewellery sits beautifully between fine jewellery (pure gold and diamonds) and imitation jewellery (brass or other base metals).

Unlike imitation pieces that tarnish quickly, demi-fine jewellery is crafted with premium base metals like sterling silver or high-quality stainless steel, paired with advanced plating techniques for long-lasting shine.

At Barely Gold, we use high-micron, 18K gold plating to create pieces that are tarnish-resistant, hypoallergenic, and made to last—perfect for everyday wear without the fine-jewellery price tag.

Will the Jewellery Tarnish?

Our jewellery is designed to be tarnish-resistant. With proper care and storage, your pieces will maintain their beauty for years. Just follow our care guide—avoid harsh chemicals, perfumes, and excessive moisture, and store in an airtight pouch when not in use.

Is it Pure Silver?

When we use silver, it’s always 92.5 sterling silver—the highest purity possible for durable, wearable silver jewellery.

How Long Does Gold Plating Last?

Our 18K gold plating is designed to last—its longevity depends on how you wear, care, and store it.

• Humidity and sweat can dull the finish faster, so dry thoroughly before storing.
• Store in an airtight pouch to protect from air and moisture.
• Our plating is for safe, skin-friendly wear.
  

With the right care, Barely Gold pieces will stay just as radiant as the day you bought them.

Jewellery Care

To keep your Barely Gold jewellery looking its best:

• Avoid direct contact with perfumes, lotions, and harsh chemicals.
• Remove before swimming, showering, or intense workouts.
• Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after each wear.
• Store in an airtight pouch or jewellery box away from sunlight and humidity.
• Handle with care to prevent scratches and preserve the plating.
