585/1000 rolled gold, also called 14-carat Gold Filled, is a noble material with a legal English designation concerning goldsmithing; it is a solid layer of 585/1000 gold that is applied by heat or pressure to a metal base such as brass or bronze.

Laminated gold contains 50 to 100 times more gold than a traditional "gold plated" piece of jewelry, allowing it to have the same properties as 585/1000 gold wire.

Do Atelier Paulin laminated gold jewelry pieces require maintenance?

No. No special maintenance is required.

A simple wipe with a soft cloth from time to time is enough to revive their natural shine.
You can wear your rolled gold jewelry every day, in the rain, in the sun, or even at sea – it is designed to withstand life, with grace and constancy.

Is it safe to shower or bathe while wearing a piece of jewelry made of laminated gold?

Yes, absolutely. Unlike gold plating, rolled gold is water-resistant. You can wear your jewelry in the shower, at the pool, or at the beach without worrying about it tarnishing or getting damaged. That said, to preserve the delicate shape (especially hand-crafted wire pieces), we recommend removing them during strenuous physical activity or repeated handling.

What is the lifespan of a piece of gold-plated jewelry?

A well-maintained piece of gold-plated jewelry can last for decades, or even longer. It's a reliable, durable material, perfectly suited for everyday wear. Thanks to its natural resistance, it retains its shine over time – without requiring complex maintenance.

Why did Atelier Paulin choose rolled gold?

Because we believe in enduring beauty, at the crossroads of fine craftsmanship and modern life. 585/1000 gold plating allows us to combine ethics, exacting standards, and elegance, while offering a piece of jewelry that can be worn freely, without fear of damage. A living, faithful, and radiant jewel.

At Atelier Paulin, we are committed to preserving this brilliance over time, because each piece of rolled gold jewelry is designed to live with you, and not against time.
