925 Sterling Silver Gold-Plated Matte Heart Ring - Size L-N
925 sterling silver base, gold matte finish — a heart worth giving and keeping.
Built on a hallmarked 925 sterling silver base, the Gold-Plated Matte Heart ring presents a hollow sculptural heart — approximately 18mm × 15mm — finished in a warm matte gold plating that softens the surface and diffuses light without glare. At 3.60g, the hollow construction keeps it light on the finger despite the visual presence of the heart crest. Open-front band fits UK L–N naturally — firm, not intended to be bent.
Romantic without being overstated. The matte gold finish bridges yellow gold and silver stacks with ease.

Genuine 925 sterling silver is essentially odourless — even after extended wear, it shouldn't develop a noticeable metallic smell. This applies to gold-plated 925 silver too: the plating is a very thin layer and the thermal and chemical behaviour of the piece is dominated by the silver base beneath. Base metals like brass or zinc alloy often develop a faint "coiny" or metallic odour after skin contact and moisture exposure, as the metal reacts and oxidises. On a hollow heart ring where the inner surface contacts the finger, any metallic smell after wear is a useful indicator of what's underneath the plating. Real 925 stays odourless.

FAQs
1. Is this ring adjustable?
No. The open-front construction naturally fits UK L–N without adjustment. The band is firm and not designed to be bent — choose this ring if your size falls within the stated range.
2. Is the gold finish durable — will it wear off?
The matte gold tone is a plating applied over the 925 sterling silver base. With reasonable care — kept away from moisture, perfumes, and chemicals — it holds well in everyday wear. The 925 silver beneath means the base metal is solid and hallmarked regardless of finish condition. Re-plating is available through most jewellers if needed over time.
3. How do I care for the matte gold finish?
Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth after wear — avoid silver polishing cloths or abrasive materials that can strip or scratch the matte surface. Do not use silver dip solutions. Store separately in a pouch or box to prevent scratching. Full guidance at our Silver Care Card.
