24K Gold Plated Name Pendant: What It Is & How to Order
A 24K gold plated name pendant gives you the rich colour of pure gold in a personalised design, with your name, or a loved one's, shaped into the pendant. But what does "24K gold plated" actually mean, and how do you order a custom name pendant online? This guide answers both, step by step, using Enchain Gifts' Personalised Golden Name Necklace as the example.
Quick answer: what is a 24K gold plated name pendant?
It's a name pendant with a thin layer of 24 karat gold applied over a base metal. Enchain Gifts' Personalised Golden Name Necklace uses a 24k gold finish over durable brass, with a chain that adjusts from 16 to 18 inches and a one-year anti-tarnish warranty.
What Does 24K Gold Plated Mean?
"24K" refers to 24 karat gold, the purest form of gold, at about 99.9% gold. "Gold plated" means a thin layer of that gold is bonded over a base metal, such as brass. A 24K gold plated pendant therefore has the deep yellow colour of pure gold, while the base metal underneath gives it strength and keeps the price affordable.
24K vs 22K vs 18K: What's the Difference?
| Karat | Gold content | Colour | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24K | About 99.9% gold | Deepest, richest yellow | Too soft for solid jewellery, so it's ideal as a plating layer |
| 22K | About 91.6% gold | Rich yellow | Common in traditional Indian jewellery |
| 18K | About 75% gold | Slightly lighter yellow | Popular for solid fine jewellery |
In plated jewellery, the karat describes the colour and purity of the gold layer, not the whole piece.

Which Font Looks Best on a Name Pendant?
