Can you tell which one is gold dip and solid gold?

GOLD DIP	SOLID GOLD
To make gold-dipped jewelry, a thin layer of real gold (must be at least 10k gold) adheres to the silver through an electroplating bath. It is a good option for those who like the look of gold but are working on a budget	The karats of gold depend on the number of other metals it is mixed with. Since pure gold is 24 karats, we always measure out of 24 parts. So 18k gold is 18 parts of pure gold and 4 parts of other alloys, 16.8k gold is 16,8 parts of pure gold, and 5,2 parts other alloys
Those with high pH skin may also have their gold dipped pieces tarnish quicker	More superior because it’s the most durable, valuable and least irritating to those that have allergies to base metals
it’s almost impossible to tell real gold from gold plated jewelry just by looking at it	Solid gold can last a lifetime and become an heirloom piece of jewelry
Gold plating uses real gold but because of how little gold is used, it doesn’t hold the value of real gold jewelry and therefore have no resell value	You can always resell your gold jewelry to a legitimate and reputable gold jewelry shop or a pawn shop, the price would depend on the daily gold price

* we use 925 Sterling Silver as the base metal for all our gold-dipped jewelry (not brass)

925 STERLING SILVER

Pure silver gets a 999 rating. The reason sterling silver requires the mixture of other metals is because naturally, pure silver is soft. Adding other metals to the silver increases the hardness, making it more suitable and durable for use in jewelry.

The 925 marking that you see in silver jewelry is represents purity of the silver. It means that for every 1000 parts of material in the jewelry piece, 925 parts must be made of silver and no more than 75 parts should be a different metal. It breaks down into 92.5% silver and 7.5% alloy.

All our jewelry are electroplated. For silver and white gold jewelry we electroplate with Rhodium to enhance the durability and luster.
