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

 GOLD DIP (Gold Plated) 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 24k, we always measure out of 24 parts. So 17k gold is 70.8% gold + 29.2% alloyed metals, 16k gold is 66.6% pure gold and 33.4% alloyed metals.

Those with high pH skin may also have their gold dipped pieces tarnish quicker.

More superior because it is the most durable, valuable and least irritating to those that have allergies to base metals.

It is 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.
