Yes, this is called selective plating. Designated areas of the metal object can be plated with yellow, rose and green gold deposits. It also is used for selectively restoring gold plating on metal objects when traditional plating is not suitable due to the fragility of the piece.

Gold plated plugs can actually cause problems. When plugged in to a regular nickel plated socket, the dissimilar metals can create distortion (through a slight diode action). The real benefit of gold plated connectors is that they do not tarnish, but they must be mated with gold sockets.

The thickness for gold coatings and platings are often expressed in millionths of an inch, microinches, or microns. The table below will help provide a basic translation between these units of measurements. To translate all this into real world plating thicknesses and their relationship to U.S. Gov. F.T.C. regulations, the following table expressed in microns is provided as a point of reference.

We use gold because it doesn’t corrode and also has better contact than silver conductors and looks excellent.

Yes. The company built two 24 karat gold plated cars for an American Express promotional campaign. A third car was later produced using the spare parts from the first two. These cars are featured among our Unique DeLoreans section of this website.

Vanshi Diamond Jewellery is made by alloying pure gold to the desired karatage. It is not plated. There will be a slight color variation between various karatages of gold. For example 18KT electroformed gold will be pale yellow. The color of the product will not change or fade over time. However with frequent wear, dirt tends to accumulate on the product, giving it a faded look. This can be removed using a simple mild soap solution to bring the luster back.

Gold plated rings have the Gold electroplated on top of silver, where the Gold will eventually wear off.

I had played a gold plated mouthpiece for a long time because I liked the feel of the gold on my face and how it warmed easily. But it was important for me to satisfy myself that gold actually WAS better, so when we were in the prototype production phase for the mouthpiece, I had the design team make mouthpieces that were completely silver plated, completely gold plated and also a combination of silver and gold.
