Yes, gold plating uses real gold. The layer of gold, which is applied using electrochemical deposition techniques (electroplating), is usually only a few microns thick. This layer of gold adds beauty to items, makes them more reflective, improves their electrical and thermal conductivity, and (probably most importantly) makes them very corrosion resistant.
It should be noted that the actual value of the gold on a "standard" application like a circuit board edge connector is only a buck or two. It's usually only cost effective to recycle gold plated electronics stuff in bulk. It is, however, important to recycle as many things and as much of the non-useful things we have as it is possible to do. The landfill is not the best place for stuff like that.

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.
