Does gold plated over sterling silver fade?
Yes, it will fade eventually due to your skin being in contact with the gold plated. If it's always touching your clothing and never your neck (if it's a necklace or pendant for example) you might have luck and it might not fade until a long time, but I never tried.
Will gold over sterling fade?
If it's gold plating over silver than, yes it will. Depending on the thickness of the plating and how much you wear it will determine how long it will last.
What difference between white gold and platinum?
Gold and Platinum are two separate metals and elements. Platinum is always pure. White gold is gold that is alloyed (blended) with another element, usually nickel. White Gold White gold is an alloy of gold and some white metals such as silver and palladium. White gold can be 18kt, 14kt, 9kt or any karat. For example, 18kt yellow gold is made by mixing 75% gold (750 parts per thousand) with 25% (250 parts per thousand) other metals such as copper and zinc. 18kt white gold is made by mixing 75% gold with 25% other metals such as silver and palladium. So the amount of gold is the same but the alloy is different. Traditionally nickel was used in white gold, however, nickel is no longer used in most white gold made today as nickel can cause reactions with some people. We do not use nickel in our white gold When white gold rings are new they are coated with another white metal called Rhodium. Rhodium is a metal very similar to platinum and Rhodium shares many of the properties of platinum including its white color. The rhodium plating is used to make the white gold look more white. The natural color of white gold is actually a light grey color. The Rhodium is very white and very hard, but it does wear away eventually. To keep a white gold ring looking its best it should be re-rhodium plated approximately each 12 to 18 months. Most local jewelers are able to rhodium plate jewelry for a cost effective price. Platinum Platinum is a white metal, but unlike gold it is used in jewelry in almost its pure form (approximately 95% pure). Platinum is extremely long wearing and is very white, so it does not need to be Rhodium plated like white gold. Platinum is very dense (heavy), so a platinum ring will feel heavier than an 18kt gold ring.

How long will it take for 18kt gold overlay to fade?
If you are talking about White gold, and the rhodium plating that is added to gold to give it it's appearance of white then this all depends on the person who wears it. How often it is worn and under what conditions will determine how often you need to add a rhodium plating to your ring.
How much is 18kt gold per gram?
As far as I know, 18-kt gold is 18/24 or 75% pure gold. 18kt gold is 75% pure gold. Gold closed today at $1223.10 per ounce. There are 31.10 grams per TROY ounce. So a little math here will tell all: 31.10 (grams per ounce) divided by $1223.10 (price per ounce of gold) equals 39.328 or $39.33 dollars per gram of pure gold. Now since you have 75% pure gold, take 39.33 (the price per gram of PURE gold)and multiply by .75 (again, 18kt gold is 75% pure) equals 29.497 or $29.50 per gram of 75%(18kt) gold. Yes a long answer but now you can figure it for yourself when the price of gold changes, and it does... daily.
