Gold-Plated or Gold-Tone Bracelets

A gold-plated or gold-tone bracelet is a jewelry piece coated with one or more layers of gold. Used since Antiquity, this technique was highly prized by Greek and Roman royalty. Today, gold plating is achieved through electrolysis.

Typically, a gold-plated or gold-tone bracelet is made from a brass base - an alloy of copper and zinc known for its durability, malleability, and gold-like color. A gold-plated bracelet must have a minimum gold layer of 3 microns to legally carry that designation. For a gold-tone bracelet, the gilding is 1 micron or less. The gold used can sometimes be blended with other metals to alter its color. It's also the best way to own a gold jewelry piece without breaking the bank.
