Hello, Please let me know, what is the metal used in custom jewelry to give the gold aparience?. the process is electrolitic?...Thanks

[@ArdenJewelers]

Good question. We can make custom jewelry in a variety of metals with the most popular being sterling silver, gold, and platinum. As for the process, we explain a bit about lost wax casting in the video, but it sounds like you are asking more about jewelry plating which is an electrolytic process where a very thin layer of one metal is plated over another metal. You can read more about plating on our website here: www.mygemologist.com/learn/jewelry-repair/jewelry-repair-faq/#gold-plating
