Gold plating is way to get the look of gold at a fraction of the cost. Most nonferrous metals can be gold plated. Gold-plated silver is termed vermeil and is often used in making fashion jewelry. It isn't complicated to gold plate small projects with a rectifier and gold electroplating solution. Large gold-plating projects require expensive, specialized equipment that is cost prohibitive for most jewelry makers who work at home or in a small metalsmithing studio.

1.Clean the metal you plan to gold plate with soap and water.

2.Use an alligator clip to attach the positive lead of the rectifier to the metal object supplying the gold electroplating solution.

3.Use an alligator clip to attach the negative lead of the rectifier to the metal jewelry or object you are gold plating.

4.Pour the gold electrolyte solution into a glass container large enough to hold the item you plan to gold plate. Be sure the plated item is completely suspended in the plating solution and does not touch the bottom or sides of the container.

5.Turn on the rectifier according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The low voltage of direct current causes metal ions to deposit the gold plating on the metal object. Leave the item in the gold plating solution until it is plated to the thickness you want.

6.Gold plating isn't an exact science. Adjust the rectifier as needed until the item is plated. Record the voltage and time to replicate results.

Gold-filled wire is often used by hobbyists making wire-wrapped jewelry. It lets them use real gold in their pieces without the cost being as great as when using other forms of gold. Gold-filled wire is easy to work with and looks great. Also known as rolled-gold wire, it is more durable than gold-plated wire.

History
Gold-filled jewelry became popular in the early 20th century and increased in use throughout the 1930s and 1940s.

Contents
Gold-filled wire is made by bonding a layer of 10-karat, 12-karat or 14-karat gold to a base of jeweler's brass. The wire is then drawn to the desired thickness.

Quality Assurance
Gold-filled wire includes considerably more gold than gold plate. Gold-filled products must be a minimum of 1/20th, by weight, of the total piece. It is labeled as 10/20, 12/20 or 14/20, according to the karat used.

Uses
Gold-filled wire can be used to wrap crystals, cabochons and other stones. It also can be fashioned in beautiful name jewelry.

Longevity
Many pieces of gold-filled wire jewelry from the early 20th century are still beautiful today. Gold-filled wire requires no special care to retain its beauty, other than the occasional dip into some jewelry cleaning solution.
