-What means gold plated
Gold plating refers to a thin layer of gold applied to another material, typically cheaper metals such as copper or bronze, through a coating process. This process can be done using techniques like electroplating or vapor deposition. The goal of gold plating is to give the appearance of solid gold without the high cost of using pure gold. This type of coating is commonly used in jewelry, watches, and other decorative items
-How to care your Jewelry
To care for your gold-plated jewelry, it is recommended that after each use, you clean your jewelry using a cotton ball or a very soft cloth to remove any dust and dirt it may have accumulated. Gently rub the surface of your gold-plated jewelry with a soft cloth, as doing this will also help restore its shine. If your jewelry requires more cleaning, you can clean it regularly with warm water and mild soap
-How is made Gold plated.
Gold-plated jewelry is made using electricity or chemicals to deposit and bond a very thin layer of gold onto another metal. Essentially, the gold-plating process is achieved through gold baths applied to metal pieces like nickel and brass. This process creates a layer as thin as 1/1000 to 3/1000 of an inch of gold on a more affordable metal, allowing the creation of fashion jewelry with intricate designs. The quality of gold plating depends on the number of baths and the karats of the gold.
