**Alchemía or 'Zero Karat Gold' is not plated. The gold color is throughout. The metal is nickel free, lead-free and lacquered, thus making it hypoallergenic. A strong and flexible lacquer is used to protect the metal from turning or tarnishing, while still allowing the rings and cuffs to be easily adjusted. Also, WARRANTIED for LIFE!
