Gold plating is a process that utilizes electrolysis to deposit a layer of gold onto the surface of a base metal, such as silver, copper, or other alloys. Common plating colors include 10K, 14K, 18K, 24K, rose gold, champagne gold, white gold, and black gold. Q: What is Karat Gold (K Gold)? Gold is a yellow precious metal with the chemical symbol Au. It is dense, soft, and resistant to corrosion. Karat gold (K gold) refers to an alloy created by melting gold with other metals. Due to gold's inherent softness, which makes it unsuitable for stone setting, metals like silver, copper, and zinc are typically added to increase its strength and resilience. The resulting alloy is known as "K gold." Q: What is 18K Gold Plated? According to international standards, K gold is categorized from 1K to 24K, with 24K representing pure 999.9 gold. 18K indicates that the composition contains 75% (18/24) gold, while 14K has 58.5% (14/24) gold content, and 10K has 41.7% (10/24), and so on. Currently, 18K and 14K are the most widely used gold materials for jewelry globally. Shih Yeh's gold-plated jewelry utilizes 18K gold plating with a plating thickness of 5 to 10 microns. It features jewel-grade, nickel-free, hypoallergenic treatment and is meticulously handcrafted with polishing and finishing techniques typically used for fine jewelry. Q: Does 18K Gold Plating Oxidize? The 18K gold plating layer contains gold. Although gold is highly stable, it can still react with oxygen in the air, sweat, and chemical products it comes into contact with, leading to oxidation and the appearance of white, red, or black spots. Q: Does 18K Gold Plating Fade? 18K gold-plated jewelry may gradually wear down the plating layer due to the wearer's body chemistry, the frequency of contact and friction with the skin. This can reveal the underlying base metal (silver or brass) color, which is considered a normal reaction. **For re-plating services for your gold-plated jewelry, please feel free to send us a message at any time. We would be delighted to assist you with re-plating or offer advice.** - __【Care Instructions】__ ■ Keep your jewelry dry at all times. Avoid contact with highly acidic or alkaline substances, such as those found in hot springs or cosmetics. ■ After each wear, it is recommended to gently wash the jewelry with a soapy solution to remove sweat and dirt from intricate areas. Once dry, store it in a sealed bag or box. ■ Failing to clean and seal your jewelry after wearing it can significantly accelerate oxidation. ■ Do not use a silver polishing cloth, as this will remove the gold plating and cause it to lose its color. ■ Do not use silver polishing creams or silver cleaning solutions for maintenance. ■ It is not recommended to wear gold-plated jewelry while bathing, as this can accelerate color fading. ■ When cleaning, avoid contact with inlaid gemstones and pearls to prevent permanent dulling or etching of their surfaces. ■ **Free basic repair services are provided.
