The gold plating of jewelry is mainly electroplated gold. Because the electroplated gold coating has strong corrosion resistance, good electrical conductivity, easy welding, high temperature resistance, certain wear resistance, and good discoloration resistance. Gold plating is mainly plated on nickel plating. As a barrier layer between gold and copper, the main function of nickel plating is to prevent the mutual diffusion of gold and copper. Gold can also be plated on substrates such as copper and brass. However, after long-term use, the copper will diffuse into the gold coating and lose the effect of the gold coating. For copper, silver and their alloy substrates, the gold coating is a cathodic coating. The porosity of the coating affects its protective properties. On copper, it needs to be plated → layer of bright nickel → flash gold → gold plating.

Even if your favorite piece is gilded, you can still keep it looking its best for as long as possible with proper care and cleaning.
