Mens or Womens gold plated Ring Band Millgrained edge 18K HGE sz 5 to 10 avail Mens or Womens Wedding Band, Millgrained edge, 18K HGE (Heavy Gold Electroplate) sizes 5 to 10 available (see listing details for quantity and sizes)price range 18.00 to 24.00. width 3/16 ” (0.475 mm) HGE is “Heavy Gold Electroplate” (The original was cast in silicon Bronze which is easily plated and finishes (and works i.e. uses the same tools) almost the same as gold so the manufacturer could do a gold run using the same tools, this is better if you are making a lot of copies of the same product.) This was done for longer ware than standaed electroplate. Ours were plated to 100 mil. thickness. ‘Im not sure what the std plating was at the time the range available was 3 mil to 30 mil. from our US manufactureers) These were made in the late 70’s and early 1980’s When the price of gold went up around that time these were no longer available, we were told the cost was too high for them to continue with this line. Most of our rings and chains were done this way from the same manufacturer in Rhode Island (they are no longer in this business, they went out of business around 2004, so the lifetime guarantees we originally gave with these items no longer applies. most of our inventory dates from that time, 1980’s to early 1990’s. the last time we bought any of this inventory was in the early 1990’s.
