What is Rolled Gold?
Rolled gold is created by mechanically bonding a thin layer of gold to a base metal, typically brass or copper. This process involves heat and pressure to fuse the metals together, resulting in a material that closely resembles solid gold in appearance and wearability. The gold layer in rolled gold is significantly thicker than that found in gold-plated items, enhancing its durability and resistance to tarnishing.

Identifying Rolled Gold Jewelry
To determine if a piece is made of rolled gold, look for specific markings or stamps that indicate its composition. Common hallmarks include:
- "RG": Stands for Rolled Gold.
- "RGP": Indicates Rolled Gold Plate.
- Fractional Markings: Such as "1/20 9ct RG," meaning the item consists of 1/20th 9ct rolled gold.
These markings help distinguish rolled gold from other types of gold jewellery, such as gold-plated or solid gold pieces.
Advantages of Rolled Gold
Rolled gold offers several benefits:
- Affordability: Provides the luxurious look of gold without the high cost.
- Durability: The thicker gold layer ensures longevity and resistance to wear.
- Hypoallergenic Properties: The gold layer prevents direct contact with base metals, making it suitable for individuals with sensitive skin.
