How to Distinguish Imitation Gold Plating from Real Gold Plating?
How to distinguish imitation gold plating from real gold plating:
Electroplating real gold refers to the common use of real gold as the material for electroplating, and there will be a layer of real gold on the surface of the accessories. Corresponding to it is electroplating imitation gold, that is, using other agent materials to make the surface of the accessories achieve a golden effect. The surface brightness and color retention of electroplated real gold jewelry will be better, and it is also more environmentally friendly. But usually the cost of electroplating real gold is more than three times that of imitation gold, so it is only used for middle and high-end jewelry.
1. Imitation gold electroplating products can be seen after buying them for a period of time. Imitation gold is easy to change color, while real gold retains color for a longer period of time. There is also a texture. For comparison, the color of imitation gold plating is not so positive and the texture is poor. The texture of real gold plating is good. If it is plated with 14K gold, the color will be lighter, and if it is plated with 18K gold, the color will be slightly darker. Generally popular jewelry earrings will choose 14K gold plating.
2. Look at the price, the electroplating cost of real gold plating is several to ten times higher than that of imitation gold. If real gold products and imitation gold products use the same things, zircon, diamond, pearl and other matching stones They are all about the same, but the prices are very different, so it is necessary to consider whether it is real gold plating. Therefore, some of the same products have a lot of price difference and this is also the reason (of course other reasons are not ruled out).
