It always astounds me how misleading jewellery ads are.

Gold is advertised as '10kt GOLD! GP .... which the actually mean to say 'Gold plated'

or layered with gold .... gold plated! Duh! White Gold or should we say WGP (white Gold pated) or the best Silver (colored or tone) .... hmmm could that be Silver Plated? Yep sure is!

Sterling silver is 925 - stamped! Without the 925 sign it isn't sterling silver and will tarnish!

Let's go on to Diamonds - the are described in various ways to promote 'Cubic Zirconium'

Read ads carefully - Don't be fooled.
