What type of gold is 9ct gold plated sterling silver Is it real gold or real silver?

9ct gold plated sterling silver means that the item is primarily sterling silver with a thin layer of 9ct gold applied over it. The base metal is the sterling silver which is real silver, while the gold layer is real gold but in a lower concentration (9ct) compared to pure gold.


If it is gold plated over silver does that mean that it is true gold or fake?

Gold plated over silver means that there is a layer of gold covering the silver object. While the gold layer is real, the underlying metal is silver. So it is not considered fake, but it is not solid gold either.


How can you tell if a necklace is gold or gold plated?

You can use a magnet to test if a necklace is gold or gold plated. If the necklace is only attracted to the magnet, it is likely gold plated because real gold is not magnetic. You can also look for signs of wear or discoloration on the necklace, as gold plated jewelry tends to show these signs more quickly than solid gold. Additionally, you can have the necklace tested by a jeweler for a more accurate determination.


Are real diamonds ever set in copper or sterling silver?

Real diamonds are typically set in precious metals like gold or platinum due to their durability and value. Copper and sterling silver are not commonly used for setting diamonds, as they are softer metals that may not provide the necessary support and security for the stone.
