    Default Materials

    Hi,

    Im currently starting a new jewellery/accessory business, its taking me a while but I’m getting there Theres soo much i feel i have to learn.

    Im wanting to start with necklaces, mainly using gold filled chain but the pendant i found for the necklaces is gold plated. Would it be ok for me to use a gold filled chain with a gold plated pendant? This feels like a really simple question but i dont want the gold plated pendant to bring down the quality of the chain. At the same time I am very sure that the pendant is very good quality and reliable. I have tried to look it up to see if the two materials can work well together but it just compares the two materials.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated

    Dear Naomi,
    This is a jewellery making forum, which means that we make our own pendants and mostly avoid filled and plated chains, as they become unsightly when the surface wears through.

    That said I see no reason why filled and plated should be incompatible. Dennis.
