Our 18K gold plated jewelry is not made of 18 karat gold actually, it base metal is usually brass or zinc alloy or sterling silver or stainless steel. 18k gold plated jewelry is made by electrochemical plating or chemicals to deposite a very thin layer of 18k gold over the base metal, the gold layer as thin as about 0.01~0.03μm. 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, it is also made by electrochemical plating or chemicals to deposite a very thin layer of Karat Gold over the base metal. In our website, compared to common plated products, the color durability of the real platinum plated and real rose gold plated is better.
