Say, I need help understanding plating of gold.
I made a 24k gold toothpick holder that is used to store things around my neck. Within three months the gold was gone and it is down to the metal. I sweat and wear this thing daily. :frown:
In making new ones, I want them to stand up a little better and saw that 10k gold was harder, yet the kits more expensive.
If you were making these for wear around the neck, what would you use?
As an alternative, chrome would probably last allot longer but gold looks nicer. :bulgy-eyes:
