A 10k rolled plated case refers to a type of watch or jewelry case that features a thin layer of 10-karat gold bonded to a base metal, often through a process called electroplating. This method gives the appearance of solid gold while being more affordable and lightweight. The "rolled" aspect indicates that the gold layer is thicker than standard gold plating, enhancing durability and resistance to wear. However, it is still not as long-lasting as solid gold.
Jewelry engraved with RGP, which stands for Rolled Gold Plating, or plaqué d'or laminé, (proper designation: 1/30 14 kt.), contains approximately 100 times the average amount of gold utilized in gold plating (which is either sprayed or dipped). Rolled Gold Plating involves the lamination of a thin sheet of gold leaf with a lesser metal (usually brass), fused by heating under pressure.
