wat is the differance between rolled gold and gold?

Answer 1

One is a pretzel, one is a precious metal. Just kidding:

Rolled Gold

A product from fusing over a base metal a thin layer of gold, and then rolling it into sheets of varying thickness, depending on the intended use. From about 1817, it was made by fusing stamping on the sheet two identical patterns that were cut out and fused together with the gold sides outside; but a later development, which is less frequently used (but is suitable for some jewellery, which is to show gold on both sides of the base metal. In either method, the product can be made with different colours of gold. To make rolled-gold wire, a base metal core is enclosed within a rolled-gold tube and drawn to the desired diameter. As the thickness of the gold can vary, the quality is expressed in microns if the layer of gold is uniform, otherwise in millimetres.

Answer 2

Rolled gold is a very thin sheet of gold that is laminated to a lesser metal (usually brass). The two layers of metal are heated under pressure to fuse them together. The sheet is them rolled into a very thin sheet and then used to make jewelry or other objects. Jewelry made from rolled gold wear well over time. Rolled gold pieces are marked rolled gold plate, R.G.P., or plaqué d'or laminé.

Gold is a very soft metal when it is pure (24 Kt. is pure gold). Gold is the most malleable (hammerable) and ductile (able to be made into wire) metal. Gold is usually alloyed (mixed with other metals, often silver and copper) to make it less expensive and harder. The scientific abbreviation of gold is Au.

Answer 3

Rolled gold is produced by fusing a layer of base metal with a layer of gold (usually 9ct or 18ct in the U.K.) effectively making a 'sandwich' of metals. This gives the item a 'veneer' of gold.

This is a much higher quality then gold plate which is a much thinner layer and wears faster.

"(5) Use of the terms "Gold Filled," "Rolled Gold Plate," "Rolled Gold Plated," "Gold Overlay," or any abbreviation to describe all or part of an industry product unless such product or part contains a surface-plating of gold alloy applied by a mechanical process and of such thickness and extent of surface coverage that reasonable durability is assured, and unless the term is immediately preceded by a correct designation of the karat fineness of the alloy that is of at least equal conspicuousness as the term used.

(6) Use of the terms "Gold Plate," "Gold Plated," "Gold Filled," "Rolled Gold Plate," "Rolled Gold Plated," "Gold Overlay,'' or any abbreviation to describe a product in which the layer of gold plating has been covered with a base metal (such as nickel), which is covered with a thin wash of gold, unless there is a disclosure that the primary gold coating is covered with a base metal, which is gold washed."

Answer 5

hum.. rolled gold eh? :D

well rolled gold you can toke and gold is always a good investment in the market.

:D just kidding.

rolled gold is a laminated gold, over metals like plating. gold of course is gold melted into an element that is transportable or storable. gold is solid, most times not wearable becuase it's too soft, in that case they make a karated gold which is mixed with other metals to make it more durable.

Answer 6

rolled gold is hollow making it light weight and easily damages at joints gold gold is heavyer and more expensive
