Gold Layered is primarily an electrical process. First a piece of base metal, normally brass, is submerged in a plating solution and then an electric current is passed through both the solution and the item being plated. There are many different solutions depending on the amount and color of gold to be plated. This process moves individual atoms of gold out of the solution and onto the item being plated. The gold plate is thus evenly deposited only a few molecules thick over the entire object. Depending on various factors, this coating can be worn away in a very short time or last quite a while. Please do not consider plating as a hobby as the process is much more complicated than this simple description makes it seem and the solutions involved contain highly corrosive acids and deadly chemicals like hydrochloric acid and cyanide. Gold Filled is a abbreviated g.f. = Lower in gold content than 10 KT, usually 1/20 or 1/12 KT. In this technique a sheet of gold is mechanically applied to the surface. Victorian pieces are likely to be unmarked, but later pieces are marked with the fineness of the gold layer, and the part by weight of the gold. For example any piece marked "1/10 12K G.F." is composed of at least 1/10 12K gold based on the weight of the finished piece. In the U.S. gold - filled pieces must be at least 1/20 by weight to be classified as gold-filled.

Is gold layered the same as gold plated?
No, gold layered and gold plated are not the same. Gold layered means there is a thicker layer of gold applied to the base metal compared to gold plated, where a thinner layer of gold is applied. This typically results in a more durable piece of jewelry with gold layering.

Is gold layered jewelry thesame as gold filled jewelry?
No, gold layered jewelry has a thinner layer of gold applied to the base metal, while gold-filled jewelry has a thicker layer of gold bonded to the base metal. This makes gold-filled jewelry more durable and long-lasting compared to gold layered jewelry.

What does 18kgl mean on a gold chain?
18 carat gold layered, which is heat bonded onto jewelers brass, and is non allergenic, and the jewelery is layered multiple times to ensure the jewelery is evenly layered The layered 18 carat gold is 75mil, which is 15 times thicker than gold plating. 18 carat gold layered jewelery does not chip, flake or wear out like other (example gold plated can). Gold layered jewelery goes through a different process, assuring a high quality finish with quality materials. It has a high gold content, without a high content of nickel, which is generally the cause of skin irritations.
Is gold layered better than gold plated?
Gold layered jewelry is typically more durable and of higher quality than gold plated jewelry. Layered gold has a thicker layer of gold bonded to a base metal, which makes it less likely to wear off over time compared to gold plated items, which have a thinner layer of gold. However, the quality and longevity of the gold layering can still vary depending on the specific manufacturing process.
What does 18kgl mean on gold jewelry?
"18kgl" likely means that the gold jewelry is made of 18 karat gold. The "k" stands for karat, which is a measure of the purity of gold, with 18 karat gold being 75% pure gold and 25% other metals. The "gl" may refer to the type of gold plating or finish that has been applied to the jewelry.
