Pieces were made using a thick base metal (often a copper or pewter alloy) finished with a heavy layer of real gold electroplating. This gave 1980s pieces their signature substantial weight and exceptional durability against tarnishing.
Manufacturers applied a distinctive satin-matte treatment to the gold plating. This technique reduced the mirror-like glare of the metal, giving the chunky jewelry a wealthy, semi-matte, or "brushed" appearance.
