The color of gold has always been the color of wealth, and gold jewelry emphasized the status of their owners.

Today, gold is still in value, but it is expensive. Therefore, not all women can afford to buy your favorite gold earrings. Moreover, several pairs at once to change them depending on the attire, circumstances or mood.

That is why gilt was invented. It is a thin gold layer applied to jewelry made from cheaper metals. Most often, nickel, brass, copper, steel or silver are used as the basis of gilded jewelry. The latter is used specifically for the manufacture of earrings.

To “beautify”, after production, silver earrings are wrapped with sheets of noble metal, which are firmly fixed on the products using a simple electrolysis process. The thicker the gold plates, the better the final product.

Depending on the thickness of such a sheet, gilding can be:

• Standard. It uses a precious metal of at least 385 samples. The thickness of the layer reaches 2.5 microns.
• With a sample of 585 and above, the thickness of more than 2.5 microns.
• White To produce white gold, this metal is alloyed with palladium, nickel and silver. The thickness of such a coating on silver earrings can be from 2.5 to 5 microns.
• Pink Pale pink hue gives the alloy copper. The thickness can also vary from 2.5 microns and above.

Some earrings can even be exposed to a sample (this test applies only to the coating!).
