Gold on Gold Plate. Some jewelers use a high Karat plating on a lower Karat gold piece to enhance the colour. Unfortunately there is nothing to indicate this process as there is nothing illegal in this form of plating. If you see a 9K piece of jewellery that is a very bright yellow you may be suspicious, but that’s it. It still 9K gold. but which, over the years, may lose its bright appearance. There are no Hallmarks for this.
 


makes sense.......my new stuff does not match my old 14kt.......
