A 26 karat gold electroplate refers to a thin layer of gold that has been electronically bonded to a base metal. The 26 karat designation indicates the thickness of the gold layer relative to the total thickness of the plating. It is commonly used in jewelry and decorative items to give them a gold-like appearance.
"14k hct" likely refers to 14-karat gold electroplate coating, which is a thin layer of gold applied to another metal. This type of gold plating is not as durable or long-lasting as solid gold but is a more affordable option for jewelry.
"RCE" likely stands for "Rolled Gold Electroplate," indicating that the necklace is made by depositing a thin layer of real gold onto a base metal through electroplating. This means that the necklace is not solid gold but rather gold-plated over another metal.
Real gold is heavy in comparison to other metals.
It doesn't "fade" per say. Rather the electroplating wears off from rubbing against the wearer's skin. As a result it reveals the base metal underneath. So it will slowly turn to a silver color where it experiences the most friction.
