Gold plated Bangles:
Gold Plated Bangles jewelry is created by covering the metal with a thin layer of gold using a process known as electroplating. Gold and rhodium plating are two popular types of plating in the jewelry industry.
Gold plating can improve the appearance of the jewelry. It can also help to prevent tarnish and wear on the underlying metal. It is important to note, however, that gold plating can wear away over time.
Gold plated jewelry is compose of both real gold and a different base metal. While these pieces are not solid gold, the plating is made of genuine gold. However, in order for a piece to be labelled “gold plated,” the gold layer must be equal to or greater than 0.5 micron.
