Best Answer

It means 18 karat heavy gold electroplate. It is not solid gold. 18 karat gold is 75% gold blended with other cheaper metals, usually for durability. The words "plated," "layered," or "clad" indicate a thin outer coating of gold over a base metal. There is normally very little actual gold.
