Since I own rings several rings sold by this company and I am very pleased with their quality. I Decided to order a pair of silver and yellow earrings. I wanted something I could wear daily without worrying about losing. I am not sure about the gold plating we shall see . I have been wearing both the silver and yellow earrings for one week to put them to the test and I am satisfied with these earrings, very comfortable and cute. Exceptional customer service and fast delivery. I ordered Sunday night and received my earringson Friday.
