No, if thick enough
Pure gold does not tarnish, so 24k gold plating should not tarnish easily. However, factors such as exposure to chemicals, sweat, and oils can cause the plating to wear off over time, creating a dull appearance. Regular cleaning and proper care can help maintain the shine of gold-plated items.
One can tell if something is 24k gold by poking it with a sharp object. Gold is a soft metal, and the higher the karat the softer the metal, therefore if it makes a dent or leaves a mark, then the gold is 24k. Also, 24k gold is much more yellow, so, the color can help to identify 24k gold. And finally, bringing it to a jeweler to get it appraised will help to determine if it is 24k gold.
24k gold electroplated refers to a method of applying a thin layer of 24-karat gold onto a base metal through an electrochemical process. This gives the item the appearance of solid gold while being more affordable and lightweight. The thickness of the gold layer can vary, and over time, it may wear off, revealing the underlying metal. Electroplating is commonly used in jewelry and decorative items to enhance their aesthetic appeal.
I just purchased a bracelet in a second hand store. It has this stamped in it : "24 K Electro Plated "What does that mean ?
A gold-filled necklace or pendant has a thicker layer of gold bonded to the base metal compared to an electroplated one, making it more durable and long-lasting. Gold-filled jewelry also retains its color and shine better over time, while electroplated jewelry may tarnish or wear off more easily.

Yes. Pure (24K) gold is very much a solid and very dense metal.
It is important to know how much gold is in jewelry. 24k is 100% pure gold, it means that all parts of it are made of gold.
The K in 24K stands for "karat," which is a measure of the purity of gold. 24K gold is considered pure gold, meaning it is 99.9% gold with no other metals mixed in.
