  • 2. 

    Pure 100% gold is 24 karat gold.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Pure 100% gold is 24 karat gold because the karat system is used to measure the purity of gold. The higher the karat, the purer the gold. Since 24 karat gold is the highest level of purity, it means that it is made up of 100% gold. Therefore, the statement is true.

  • 3. 

    Gold Plating lasts just as long as Gold Filled does.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Gold Plating does not last as long as Gold Filled. Gold Plating is a thin layer of gold applied to a base metal, and over time, this layer can wear off or tarnish. On the other hand, Gold Filled is a thicker layer of gold bonded to a base metal, making it more durable and longer-lasting. Therefore, the statement is false as Gold Plating does not have the same longevity as Gold Filled.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Gold Vermeil is sterling silver that has been gold-plated.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Gold Vermeil is a type of jewelry that is made by plating sterling silver with a thick layer of gold. This process creates a piece of jewelry that has the appearance of solid gold but is more affordable. The gold plating on the sterling silver gives it a luxurious and high-quality look, making it a popular choice for those who want the look of gold without the high price tag. Therefore, the statement "Gold Vermeil is sterling silver that has been gold-plated" is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Gold Dipped lasts longer than Gold Plated.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Gold Dipped refers to a process where an object is coated with a layer of gold, usually through electroplating. This process creates a thicker layer of gold compared to Gold Plated, which only has a thin layer of gold applied to the surface. As a result, Gold Dipped items tend to last longer because the thicker layer of gold provides better protection against wear and tear. Therefore, the statement that Gold Dipped lasts longer than Gold Plated is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    'Gold Dipped' means that the base metal is dipped into a bath of electroplating solution for a long period of time so it creates a thick gold plating around the metal. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When an object is described as "gold dipped," it means that it has been immersed in a solution containing gold particles for an extended period. This process, known as electroplating, allows a thick layer of gold to form around the base metal. Therefore, the statement is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    What does 'Gold Plated' mean?

    • A base metal is dipped into a bath of electroplating solution multiple times until there is a very thick coating over the metal

    • A base metal is dipped into a bath of electroplating solution with solid gold

    • The item is 24 karat gold

    • The item is 18 karat gold

    Correct Answer
    A. A base metal is dipped into a bath of electroplating solution with solid gold
  • 8. 

    What does 'Gold Filled' mean?

    • Sterling silver is painted with solid gold

    • A base metal is dipped into gold

    • A base metal is covered by sheets of gold

    Correct Answer
    A. A base metal is covered by sheets of gold
    Explanation
    The term "Gold Filled" refers to the process of covering a base metal with sheets of gold. This means that the base metal is coated or layered with a thick layer of gold, usually through a mechanical bonding process. This results in a durable and long-lasting piece of jewelry or object that has the appearance and properties of solid gold, but at a more affordable price.
