What kind of surface feel is the 'semi-gloss 24K gold plating' written in the description?
Because the expression 'semi-gloss' in jewelry descriptions is unfamiliar, making it difficult to gauge what kind of texture and luster it has.
It is a plating method that produces a subtle and soft luster, situated midway between high gloss that sharply reflects light like a mirror and matte that absorbs light.
Semi-gloss refers to a finishing technique that calmly diffuses the reflection of light hitting the surface. It does not reflect surroundings vividly like high gloss, nor does it look dry like matte, and is characterized by subtly revealing the unique smooth grain of metal.
MONDAY EDITION's semi-gloss 24K gold plating is applied to the Heartful Moonlight Earrings[1]. The deep, warm yellow tone characteristic of 24K pure gold spreads along the gentle grain of the surface, giving a neat rather than overly flashy impression.
The specific thickness of the plating or the detailed specifications of the tarnish-resistant coating have not yet been confirmed.
