Why Choose Gold Plated Findings for Jewellery Making?

Gold plated findings offer the warm, luxurious appearance of gold at an accessible price point, making them a popular choice for fashion jewellery, occasion pieces and gift jewellery. The gold plating is applied over a base metal to deliver a consistent, bright finish that pairs beautifully with warm-toned crystals including Golden Shadow, Aurum, Topaz and Light Siam. All gold plated findings in this range comply with the EU Nickel Directive, making them suitable for buyers with sensitive skin.

What Gold Plated Jewellery Findings Are Available?

The range covers twelve finding types, each available across multiple designs and sizes to suit every jewellery making application. As a supplier of both gold plated findings and premium crystals from Swarovski, Preciosa and Serinity, Bluestreak Crystals stocks the settings, chains and components needed to complete any crystal jewellery project in one place.

Clasps

Clasps securely fasten the ends of necklaces, bracelets and anklets. The gold plated range includes bolt rings, lobsters, triggers and triggers with jump rings, each offering a slightly different mechanism and aesthetic to suit different jewellery styles and wire gauges.

Bails

Bails attach charms or pendants to bracelets and necklaces via a hook or loop that slides onto a chain or cord. The range spans minimalist everyday designs through to more decorative styles, suited to both fine chain work and heavier cord.

Beads

Gold plated beads work as spacers between crystals and gemstones, adding warmth, texture and shine to necklaces and bracelets. They complement Swarovski crystal beads and Preciosa crystal beads in warm crystal colourways for a cohesive, professional finish.

Chains

Gold plated chains provide the main structural component for necklaces and bracelets. The range includes belcher, snake and trace designs across a variety of link sizes and weights, from fine delicate styles to heavier everyday chains.

Charms

Gold plated charms add decorative and sentimental detail to necklaces and bracelets, attached via a bail or jump ring. The range covers nature-inspired designs including bees, turtles and hedgehogs alongside classic motifs including hearts, stars and angels.

Crimps

Crimps secure the ends of beading wire or cord, holding beads and components in place. Available in bead, cover and tube formats, they provide a neat, professional finish to the ends of strung jewellery pieces.

Earwires

Gold plated earwires pass through the earlobe to hold dangling elements including charms, pendants and beads. The range covers multiple designs to suit different earring weights and aesthetics, from simple shepherd hooks to more detailed styles.

Eyepins

Eyepins are thin wires with a loop at one end, used to link beads together in bracelets, necklaces and earring drops. The loop allows multiple beaded components to be connected in sequence, creating flexible, linked designs.

Headpins

Headpins hold beads in place or create bead dangles, with a flat or ball end stopping the bead from sliding off. Available in flat end and ball end designs to suit different aesthetic preferences and bead hole sizes.

Jump Rings

Jump rings connect different jewellery components together, including clasps, charms and pendants to chains. Available in oval and round formats across a range of diameters and wire gauges to suit different attachment requirements.

Settings

Gold plated settings hold individual gemstones or crystals securely within a jewellery piece while exposing the faceted surface for maximum light refraction. Available in flower, heart and butterfly designs, they are compatible with Swarovski chatons and Preciosa chatons for professional crystal jewellery making.

Split Rings

Split rings are a more secure alternative to jump rings, featuring a double-coiled construction that prevents components from slipping free. Ideal for attaching charms to bracelets and necklaces where a more permanent connection is required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are gold plated jewellery findings? ▾
Gold plated jewellery findings are metal jewellery components with a thin layer of gold applied to the surface of a base metal such as brass or copper. They provide the warm, luxurious appearance of gold at an accessible price point, making them a popular choice for fashion jewellery, occasion pieces and gift jewellery where the gold aesthetic is desired without the cost of solid gold or gold-filled components.
What is the difference between gold plated and gold filled findings? ▾
Gold plated findings have a thin layer of gold electroplated onto a base metal surface. Gold filled findings have a significantly thicker layer of gold mechanically bonded to a base metal core, typically comprising at least 5% gold by weight. Gold filled findings are more durable and longer-lasting than gold plated, but gold plated findings offer a more accessible price point for fashion and costume jewellery applications.
Will gold plated findings tarnish? ▾
Gold plated findings can tarnish over time as the thin gold layer wears through to the base metal beneath, particularly with repeated exposure to moisture, sweat, perfume and chemicals. Keeping gold plated findings dry, storing them away from humidity and avoiding contact with harsh chemicals will help prolong the finish. The thicker the gold plating, the longer the finish will last.
Are gold plated findings hypoallergenic? ▾
Gold plated findings in this range comply with the EU Nickel Directive, meaning they meet the regulated limits for nickel release. However, if you or your customers have a severe metal sensitivity, sterling silver (925) findings may be a more suitable choice as they are naturally hypoallergenic and nickel-free throughout.
What crystal colours work best with gold plated findings? ▾
Gold plated findings pair most naturally with warm crystal colourways including Golden Shadow, Aurum, Topaz, Light Siam, Light Colorado Topaz and Smoked Topaz. They also complement Crystal (clear) and Crystal AB beautifully, as the warm gold tone adds richness to the iridescent AB effect. Earthy and jewel-toned colours including Emerald, Padparadscha and Indian Pink also work well in gold settings.
What types of gold plated findings are available? ▾
Our gold plated findings range includes clasps, bails, beads, chains, charms, crimps, earwires, eyepins, headpins, jump rings, settings and split rings. Each type is available across multiple designs and sizes to suit a wide range of jewellery making applications from everyday fashion pieces to statement occasion jewellery.
Can I use gold plated settings with Swarovski and Preciosa crystals? ▾
Yes. Gold plated settings including flower, heart and butterfly designs are compatible with standard chaton sizes from Swarovski, Preciosa and Serinity. Always match the setting diameter to the specific chaton size you are using to ensure a secure, flush fit with maximum crystal visibility.
What is the difference between gold plated and rose gold plated findings? ▾
Gold plated findings have a layer of yellow gold applied over a base metal, producing a warm, classic gold tone. Rose gold plated findings have a layer of rose gold, an alloy of gold and copper, applied over a base metal, producing a softer, pink-toned finish. Rose gold has a more romantic and feminine aesthetic, while yellow gold has a more traditional and luxurious appearance. Both finishes are available in the Bluestreak Crystals jewellery findings range.
