The Art of Lasting Gold: Why We Choose Vacuum Plating

At Frasq, every detail is a decision. From the curve of a ring to the detailing of an earing, nothing is left to chance. The same goes for how our pieces are plated, a process that defines not only how they look today but how they will live with you over time.

Most gold-plated jewelry on the market uses a technique called electroplating, where gold is deposited onto a metal surface using a chemical bath and electric current. It is fast, effective, but often fragile. The layer of gold is thin and wears off quickly with daily life.

We wanted something better. Something that reflects our belief that beauty should be more than surface deep.

That is why we use vacuum gold plating, a clean and precise method where gold is bonded to the metal in a sealed, high-pressure chamber. No harsh chemicals. No waste. Just physics and patience. The result is a thicker, more even, and more durable layer of gold, one that resists tarnish, keeps its glow, and feels smooth against your skin for years to come.

Vacuum plating is more complex and costly, but it aligns with our philosophy of intention and care. We choose processes that respect both the materials and the people who wear them. True craftsmanship takes time, and we believe that time is what transforms an object into something meaningful.

When you wear a Frasq piece, you are not just wearing gold. You are wearing thoughtfulness, precision, and a quiet commitment to quality that endures.

Because for us, beauty should last - in form, in feeling, and in memory.
