Thickness of 18kt Plated White Gold

You ask how durable is an 18k gold plate. Wow, I do wish I could give you an talk in months or years or in any time frame. The fact is, without knowing how thick the plated face verily might be there is little way to predict wearability. Even if I knew the thickness, the best I could say is, "It will wear better (or worse) than this or that other sort of plate or layer."

So much depends on how often the ring is worn and the conditions of that time when worn. I do believe you will take good care of the ring and that does make me happy. Too many folks will come into our enterprise with a worn out ring, packed with dirt and stones dull from all of it...then proudly say, "I never take it off." What a mistake they make! polite and regular care and cleaning is so vital to holding a ring finding the best and detecting if any stones might have worked loose.

Usa

When the ring is worn, if your hands are in touch with surfaces which touch the ring, daily wear will eventually take the plate from that touch area. This wear might come from a desk, keyboard hand reserve or simply items you usually handle in day to day work and living. Being more alert to what the ring touches will verily give you a "heads up" on preventing wear from daily contact.

The National Gold and Silver Marking Act (Usa) requires determined thicknesses of gold plate for a jewelry item to be stamped as gold plated. The mark might be "gold plate", "hge" for heavy gold electroplate or simply "plate" or "plated". These marks indicate a recognized thickness of gold plating. If there is no mark saying gold plated in one form or the other, likely the plate is of the thinner sort and not thick enough to qualify for marking as plated. Sure, it is plated but not thickly enough to certify the marking. If not marked as plated, the ring is likely plated about as thickly as typical costume jewelry and will wear about as well.

How long? I simply cannot say. My wife wears lots of Avon jewelry items all with only a wash of gold color on them.(She happens to like it..) Still, it is surprising how long the face does last. I reckon your ring has a thicker plate than that and should last longer.

When caring for the ring, use essentially the same steps to clean as with Cz's. However, do not often use a polishing cloth, especially the chemical or rouge treated ones. These are made to take off tarnish and are capable of eventually wearing away the gold plating on the ring! Wipe slowly with a soft cloth only to dry from cleaning in a mild detergent solution. You may use a soft brush to clean behind the stones.

The face will show some wear from daily touch and that is normal. This will happen long before the plate is worn through. Trying to polish out the wear from daily touch will only help take off the plate and greatly sacrifice the life of the ring.

I realize this talk is vague. There are simply no fast rules as to how long a plated jewlery item will last since each person has a personal life and conditions are different.

2008 Boys and Girls Highlights Thus Far:

All of the highlights in 2008 have thus far been produced by the girls, led by Roosevelt High School's new Usa high school narrative of 8:43.12 in the 4x800-Meter Relay, breaking the current 8:50.41 record. Roosevelt is located in Greenbelt (Md). Think for a moment about how difficult it would be to find 4 girls on a high school track team that could average less than 2:11 for the 800-meter run.

Second best endeavor comes from Jordan Hasay of Mission Prep in San Luis Obispo (Ca). Hasay has run 4:17.46 for the 1,500 Meter and has run two races faster at the same distance in 2007. The Usa high school narrative for the 1,500 is 4:16.6, less than a second away.

Will she set a new Usa high school record? The odds say yes. She also has the current best times nationally in the 3,000-Meter and 3,200-Meter runs as well. She has to be the premier girls high school middle distance runner in the country.

Rachel Laurent of Vanderbilt Catholic High School in Houma (La) is only 1.25 inches shy of matching the Usa high school narrative of 14-feet-1.25 inches in the pole vault. Her best height so far is 14-feet even. Can she set the national record? I say yes, she can.

Watch out for Hannah Carson of Rhodes Junior High School in Mesa (Az). She has thrown the javelin 167-feet-11-inches to set a new Usa high school freshman record. The national narrative is 176-feet-5-inches. Wow, she has an improbable opportunity to garner a national narrative before she graduates from high school.

We will keep you posted on the final 2008 results after the high school district and state meet competitions are held. I am sensing some more new national records from these superior young women.

Dooney and Bourke Handbags - Made in Usa Or China?

Dooney and (&) Bourke handbags were once a staple of American potential and fashion, but like many other fashion designers, have went the way of cheaper manufacturing via Chinese labor. And this can create a lot of confusion for the buyer. The buyer purchases a Dooney handbag, takes it home, throws it over her shoulder and it looks great! Then she peaks inside and starts playing nearby with the interior zippers etc, and stumbles across a tiny tag that says those three exiguous words: Made in China. What? Dooney is supposed to be made in the Usa, right? The buyer then starts to panic, assuming she had been duped by a phony handbag. But in fact, it is an authentic Dooney, and it was made in China.

So for the record, a D&B that says made in China does not mean it is a fake handbag. Many of the newer bags are manufactured in China. However, vintage D&B handbags should all say made in the Usa. Coach has also made this change from the Usa to China.

Usa

What about the fakes?

After checking where the handbag was made, check the piping. The piping refers to the rounded edges of the handbag, and this feature will be a high potential leather. The stitch lines connected with the piping will also be high quality. There should be no crooked or uneven stitch lines along the rim of the piping leather. Any evidence of sloppy and rushed stitch lines resulting in wobbly or asymmetric seams is a major red flag.

Always check the hardware. Dooney & Bourke utilizes a high potential brass for all their metal accents. A good way to witness the hardware for authentic or phony brass is to look intimately for evidence of silver areas. This would recite nickel in many cases. This is a cheap metal used by counterfeiters that is colored to look like brass and replicate the authentic brass that Dooney would implement. Authentic brass will have an aged look, and the phony brass will have a shiny, superficially cheap appearance.

These are some quick steps you can take to weed out some of the fakes, and is not a complete guide to all tips necessary, but it will furnish some insulation from many of the phonies in the viral marketplace. Good luck and safe shopping!
