an electric current causes a chemical reaction
Heavy Gold electroplate - electrolytic plating of gold plating with a minimum thickness of 2.5 microns, may be marked or described as heavy gold electroplate or heavy gold electroplated.
a plastic bath is the most suitable.

The arrow always points to the negative lead.
H.G.E. stands for hydrostatic gold plating/gold electroplating. A ring that has those letters engraved on the inside isn't made of gold. It's made of some other metal that has been layered over with gold plating. The plating wears away with time. But the thicker the plating, the longer the lifespan. And H.G.E. is the thickest plating around for jewelry.
Reduction occurs at the cathode in an electrolytic cell.

Oxidation occurs at the anode of an electrolytic cell.
It is the measurement, in mils, of the thickness of the gold plating used.
Gilding is gold plating; normally on silver.
