9ct gold will have a '375' or '9ct' or '9kt' stamped onto it somewhere, gold plated gold won't have this.

Well, the difference between gold and gold overlay, is that the gold 24k it is pure yellow gold metal; and yellow gold alloys it is 22k thru 10k Rhodium Plated. But is not white gold plated. Because it is yellow gold alloy's include copper, and Rhodium plated. That it is gold overlay.
18k gold plated jewelry is not worth much based on the gold amount. However, it could have design or sentimental value and be worth something to you.

Not much. It is gold plated which means it is over a base metal and not gold.
all quality jewls will have a number on them. go to a jewler to find out what the number represents. he/she will tell you weather it is plated or real. if it doesnt have a number (they are really small) it is probley made of plastic or something else cheap
