I would say 98% of the time if it is gold plated it is not a real diamond. diamonds are mounted in silver but not very often and they are lower quality.

You can determine if jewelry is real gold or plated by looking for hallmarks or stamps indicating the karat purity of the gold. Real gold will have markings like "14K" or "18K", while plated jewelry may have markings like "GP" (gold plated) or "GF" (gold filled). Additionally, you can use a magnet - real gold is not magnetic, so if the jewelry is attracted to the magnet, it is likely plated.
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.
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.
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.
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.
