It depends upon the process used to bond the gold to the silver. If it is plated (an electo-chemical process that attracts a very fine coating of gold to the surface of another metal) then yes, it can wear and flake. If it says gold plated or vermeil that is the case, though vermeil is better quality than plating.
Now on the other hand if it is gold "filled" or "rolled" gold, it is heat and pressure bonded. That is a permanent process and can be 100's of times thicker a layer of gold than plating. It can possible wear thin, but that would take a great deal or time and wear. This metal is an excellent alternative to 14k gold- great for people with metal Allergies and can not be externally differentiated from the real deal.
