Gold Plating Jewelry

Not all gold jewelry is created equal. Some jewelry may appear to be gold when in fact it is another metal covered (plated) in gold. Why? Because gold plate has less gold, is therefore less expensive to produce and in general gives a close second to the real thing. The plating process places a thin layer of real gold on top of another metal. Gold is usually plated on silver or copper. This is accomplished through electromagnetic or chemical means. The underlying layer of metal bonds so well with the gold that it begins to diffuse into the layer of gold, eventually fading the gold. Most electroplating using silver and copper requires an intermediate metal or alloy placed between the two to prevent this.
