Gold electoplate will not likely "tarnish" but it can wear off your jewelry especially if you wear it alot or expose it to harsh chemicals. That's one reason its great to purchase jewelry that comes with a lifetime replacement guarantee then if the plating wears off you can get them replaced!
I do not believe the electroplate will fade 'per se', but it will wear off. If it is on jewellry, it will wear off a lot more quickly than say a vase or a tray. I think the oils/acids on your skid accelerate the wear on jewellry.
Heavy gold electroplate is a jewelry finishing technique that involves covering a base metal with a thick layer of gold through an electroplating process. This results in a durable and long-lasting gold finish that is resistant to tarnishing and wear.
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.
