Real Gold plated Jewelry Findings
Karat Gold--Understanding Gold purity
1K Gold = 4.166% pure Gold
“K stands for karat and refers to the percentage of gold in an alloy”
Gold plated Information
- Real 18K Gold platedBase Metal
(Brass or Zinc Alloy
or Stainless Steel)A very thin layer of 18k gold
- Real platinum platedBase 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 platedBase 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 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.
Real 18K Gold plated VS Golden plated
We have two kinds of gold plated jewelry, including real gold plated( Real 12K Gold plated, Real 14K God plated, Real 18K Gold plated, Real 24K Gold plated) and golden plated. Below is a brief comparison of Real 18K Gold plated and Golden plated, the same as other real gold plated.

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.
