Real Gold Plated Jewelry Findings
Karat Gold - Understanding Gold Purity
1K Gold = 4.166% pure Gold
"K" stands for karat and indicates the percentage of gold in an alloy.
Gold Plated Information
-
Real 18K Gold plated
Base Metal
(Brass or Zinc Alloy
or Stainless Steel)A very thin layer of 18k gold
-
Real platinum plated
Base Metal
(Brass or Zinc Alloy
or Stainless Steel)A very thin layer of 75% Gold+ 25% Silver+Nickel+Zinc(Nickel not exceed 0.3%)
-
Real Rose Gold plated
Base Metal
(Brass or Zinc Alloy
or Stainless Steel)A very thin layer of 75% Gold+ 25% Copper+Silver+Zinc
Our 18K gold-plated jewelry is not actually made of 18 karat gold, its base metal is usually brass, zinc alloy, sterling silver, or stainless steel. 18K gold-plated jewelry is created through electrochemical plating or chemical processes that deposit a very thin layer of 18K gold onto the base metal, with the gold layer being as thin as about 0.01 to 0.03 micrometers. Despite its thinness, there is real gold on such jewelry, even if it's just a thin layer of it.
The production principle of Real Platinum Plated and Real Rose Gold Plated jewelry is the same as 18K gold-plated jewelry, it is also created through electrochemical plating or the application of chemicals to deposit a very thin layer of karat gold over the base metal. On our website, in comparison to commonly plated products, the color durability of Real Platinum Plated and Real Rose Gold Plated jewelry is superior.
Real 18K Gold Plated VS Golden Plated
We offer two types of gold-plated jewelry: real gold-plated (12K, 14K, 18K, and 24K) and golden-plated. Below is a brief comparison between real 18K gold-plated and golden-plated items, similar to other real gold-plated pieces.

Difference between Ion Plating(IP) and Vacuum Plating
Electroplating process of our stainless steel jewelry is divided into three kinds, including vacuum ion plating(IP), vacuum plating and water electroplating. For the thickness of layer, it is influenced by the electroplating process and electroplating time, the longer the plating time, the thicker the plating layer is and the longer the color preserve. Below is a brief comparison of ion plating, vacuum plating and water galvanization color durability.
