Last time I talked to a jewelry teacher, I was surprised how cheap
gold-plating can be. It can be a VERY thin coat of gold to get a nice
effect over a top cover, esp. if it's taken back to the brass first.
Of course, it won't take too much hard use.
I have some gold-plated bathroom fittings - stops tarnishing and not
much more expensive that mere brass.
