WHAT IS GOLD PLATED?

As its name suggests, gold plated jewelry is jewelry coated with a layer of gold. This allows it to accurately mimic the appearance of pure gold. The materials used in gold plated jewelry vary. Some designers use silver, while others use a combination of materials such as copper and nickel.

Gold plated jewelry is manufactured using a process known as "flash plating". This involves dipping a base material into gold solution. The solution coats the jewelry and dries, giving it the appearance of genuine gold.
