The Base: Brass alloy
The basis of our gold-plated jewelry is brass alloy, a mixture of copper and zinc. Brass is widely used in jewelry for its exceptional qualities. It has several notable advantages:
Malleability: Brass is malleable, meaning it can be precisely shaped to create jewelry of various shapes and styles.
Anallergic: It is also known to be anallergic, making it suitable for people with sensitive skin. You can wear our jewelry with confidence, knowing that it is designed to minimize the risk of skin allergies.
Solidity: Its solidity is an undeniable asset. Brass jewelry is strong and durable, ensuring that it will maintain its beauty for many years.
Natural color: The natural color of brass is already very attractive and is close to that of gold, making it an excellent base for plating.
Ideal support for gold plating: In addition, brass is one of the metals that best supports gold plating. This is why it is commonly used as a base material for creating gold-plated jewelry.

Gold Plated: Unparalleled refinement
Gold plating is a technique that successfully replicates the appearance of real gold, allowing you to create beautiful jewelry at an affordable cost. However, there are strict standards for qualifying jewelry as gold plated in Switzerland.
At Kube Store we use electroplating, also called electroplating, with a layer of 18k gold with a minimum thickness of 5 microns. This thickness is imposed by legislation in order to benefit from the “gold-plated” designation. Additionally, the gold used can be mixed with other metals to create different plating colors, such as rose gold plating.
Compared to brass plated with fine gold, where the layer of gold is almost 10 times thinner (between 0.3 and 1 micron), gold plated is much more resistant. In addition, our gold-plated jewelry is hallmarked, often bearing the manufacturer's initials as well as the carat of the gold used.
Jewelry that resists life
At Kube Store, we are committed to offering you quality jewelry that withstands all situations of daily life. Our gold-plated jewelry is designed to accompany your days, whether it's showering, sports or an elegant outing. They are designed to be lightweight, comfortable and durable.
Why choose gold-plated jewelry?
Choosing gold-plated jewelry rather than real gold is an ideal option for those who want to combine pleasure and budget. Indeed, gold-plated jewelry is generally much more affordable than a solid gold model, while still offering an impressive finish. In addition, our gold-plated jewelry is guaranteed for 10 years against any plating defect, thus ensuring exceptional longevity.
Recycling and environmental impact
At Kube Store, we are deeply committed to responsibility and sustainability. All of our jewelry is made from recycled materials, helping to preserve our precious environment. Each piece is carefully designed to minimize our ecological footprint, while maintaining the highest quality and aesthetics. By choosing Kube Store, you are choosing a greener and brighter future.
