❖ Gold Plated Information ❖
The piece of jewelry is made of 925 silver and then plated gold. 10 millimeters (1g Au per 1000g weight) of 18 ct gold were used. This is more durable than traditional gold plating. When gold plating, the base material is electroplated with gold - this usually works with an electrolyte bath in which, to put it simply, many gold particles adhere to the base material, sterling silver. However, with gold plating, the sterling silver is mechanically plated with gold. This means that not just individual gold particles, but a whole layer of gold is attached to the sterling silver. Gold plating usually lasts much longer than gold plating because the gold layer is much thicker.
