you cant clean it !!!! gold plated jewelry doesn't last long because of the thin layer of gold
gold plated jewelry doesn't last long you will see fading in the color (sometimes changing black) & gold doesn't change colors .
Gold last for a long time because it is durable. Gold jewelry will last for a long time when it is made purely of gold.
Sure, a 417 stamp would indicate 10 karat gold. Any pawnshop in the country will buy your gold jewelry as long as they can verify that it is not plated.
Because gold is made up of minerals that are very dence, and because gold jewelry contains deposites of other metals that makes it stronger. =]
Most jewelry, if it is cared for properly, will last a long time. Ensure you take steps to properly clean and care for your favorite jewelry, and you can wear it for as long as you want. This is especially true with any plated items you might have.
gold plate isn't durable at all it depends how you look after it as well..., as the sweat on your finger damages the ring removing the colour and leaving a horrible black or green finger ive had many gold plated rings myself !!
