What is gold electroplating?

Gold electroplating is a process in which a thin layer of gold is deposited onto a metal surface using an electric current. It is a common technique used to enhance the appearance and properties of metal parts.

The process of gold electroplating involves several steps. First, the metal part to be plated is thoroughly cleaned and polished to remove any surface contaminants or imperfections. Next, the part is submerged in a solution containing gold ions, and an electric current is applied to the part.

As the electric current flows through the solution, the gold ions are attracted to the metal part and begin to deposit onto the surface, forming a thin layer of gold. The thickness of the gold layer can be controlled by adjusting the voltage and current used in the plating process.

Gold electroplating is used in a variety of industries, including jewelry manufacturing, electronics, and aerospace. It is often used to improve the appearance of metal parts by giving them a bright, shiny finish. It can also be used to improve the wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and conductivity of metal parts.

My Frat Ring

My AKA frat ring is just as pictured. Actually is larger than I expected and the gold tone blings nicely. I did go a half size up. Which was perfect. So please size up. A whole size wouldn’t hurt. This is a perfect gift to pass down in the family. If you’re not sure I suggest you get it. You won’t be disappointed.
