Best Answer

Gold plating is slightly different from rolled gold. Gold plating is depositing a thin layer of gold onto the surface of another metal like copper or silver by chemical or electrochemical plating. Rolled gold is the same as gold filled where a solid gold layer of gold is bonded with heat and pressure to a metal like brass. So although very similar, the difference is in how the gold is being held to the initial metal.

Gold plating is real gold, but not solid gold. Whatever material is being plated (usually silver) is not gold so the item cannot be considered to be solid gold.
