24k gold electroplated refers to a method of applying a thin layer of 24-karat gold onto a base metal through an electrochemical process. This gives the item the appearance of solid gold while being more affordable and lightweight. The thickness of the gold layer can vary, and over time, it may wear off, revealing the underlying metal. Electroplating is commonly used in jewelry and decorative items to enhance their aesthetic appeal.

How can you tell if something is 24k gold?

One can tell if something is 24k gold by poking it with a sharp object. Gold is a soft metal, and the higher the karat the softer the metal, therefore if it makes a dent or leaves a mark, then the gold is 24k. Also, 24k gold is much more yellow, so, the color can help to identify 24k gold. And finally, bringing it to a jeweler to get it appraised will help to determine if it is 24k gold.
