GOLD PLATING

Gold plating is a process where a thin layer of gold is deposited onto the surface of some other metallic base coat, like nickel. With gold plating, there are generally multiple layers of other types of metal plating before getting the gold layer. For instance, something that is a gold-plated silver object will generally have a silver substrate that will have several layers of copper and nickel before the introduction of gold plating.
