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.
