Gold color /gold tone/ - a metal coated with gold color composition but has no real gold content as in measurable in karats or value. Gold plated - a non-precious base metal with a very thin layer of gold. The gold layer in gold plated jewelry is typically much thinner than the gold in gold filled jewelry. Gold filled - is also known as "rolled gold" or "rolled gold plate". Solid layer of gold is bonded with heat and pressure to a base metal.The thickness of the gold layer is at least 1/10 (if 10Kt gold is used) to 1/20 (if 14Kt gold is used) of the item's total weight. Gold filled items are mark with fractions that show the amount of gold as proportion to base metal.

Does bronze jewelry turn your skin green?

Gold-tone over base metal is not the same as gold. Silver-tone over base metal is not the same thing as silver. Many base metals are used to make jewelry, and they are often coated with paint to make it look like gold or silver, but once the paint wears off, the metal can react with the skin and turn it green. This is especially true of jewelry that is made of copper and then coated with paint. Copper reacts to the sweat in a person's skin, and turns green. Gold-filled and gold-plated jewelry may also have certain base metals that react with a person's skin. The same is true of silver-plated and silver-filled. Sterling silver, Bali silver and such are not reactive and should not turn the skin green. Gold should not turn the skin green. Electroplate is another way of fusing gold or silver to base metal, and it is very durable, but if the plating ever cracks, the base metal could be reactive with the skin. The way to avoid purchasing something that will turn your skin green is to check for the tiny stamp imprinted on gold (it will tell how many carats of gold the jewelry is made of) and sterling silver (it will say sterling, and perhaps be accompanied by some numbers).


Is there a 1985 Gold Dime?

The mint has never made quarters out of gold. Your coin was either plated for use in jewelry or exposed to something (heat, chemicals) that changed its color. If you think about it for a few seconds, even the most boneheaded bureaucrat wouldn't authorize minting a coin that would sell for dozens or hundreds of dollars, and put it into circulation for 25 cents.

How is a brass trumpet different from a gold trumpet?

They're not really different. They are just made of different materials. They make the same sound. Actually, probably what you're asking is: some trumpets are plated in gold, some are plated in silver, some in nickel. The trumpet itself is made of brass, then plated with different metals. It's a matter of opinion, but some people say different metals make the trumpet have a different tone and some say it doesn't.

What does gold and silver jewelry mean?

made of gold or silver, this is dependent on the items referred to, it may mean some are gold and some are silver. Legally to sell an item as either gold or silver it should be fully hallmarked. If the term refers to a single piece gold decoration may have been added to a silver piece (I have a Victorian bangle with gold flowers on a silver base) or the item may be gilded gold over silver or vermeil gold plated silver (this is usually stamped 925. It may also mean gold or silver tone which is neither gold nor silver.
