18kgp is 18 carat gold plated so it is not gold inside just plated in gold which will wear off with time and sterling silver is silver all through it not plated.

How much for a plain 18kgp chain cost?

It depends on what you mean. A stamping of 18K GP usually means 18K gold plating (over base metal) in which case it would cost very little because the plating is very thin and basically worthless and base metal is really cheap. On the other hand, 18K GP could possibly mean that GP were the makers mark (it most likely would be plated, but I suppose GP could be initials and the chain could be solid 18K) in which case it would cost money depending on the weight. As a general rule of thumb, consider a price of pure gold to be $50 per gram, and since 18K gold is 75% pure, you'd have a price of $37.5 per gram of your 18K chain and so it would depend on weight. A tiny, thin chain meant as a bracelet might cost $30-50 while a large chunky "70s looking" chain might cost upwards of $500.
