The thickness of gold plating on jewellery is noted in microns (or micro-meters). The microns of thickness determines how long the gold plating lasts with usage. The jewellery industry denotes different qualities of gold plating in the following terminology Gold flashed / Gold washed - gold layer thickness less than 0.5 micron
Keum-boo (Korean: 금부; also Geumbu, Kum-Boo or Kum-bu—Korean "attached gold") is an ancient Korean gilding technique used to apply thin sheets of gold to silver, to make silver-gilt. Traditionally, this technique is accomplished by first depleting a surface of sterling silver to bring up a thin layer of fine silver.

The Federal Trade Commission allows the use of the terms "rolled gold plate," "R.G.P" or "gold overlay" on items with lower thicknesses of gold than are required for "gold-filled." [ 3 ] An example would be an item stamped as " 1 ⁄ 40 10kt RGP" meaning that the object is plated with 10kt gold at a thickness that makes weight of the plated ...

anodizing – electrolytic passivation process used to increase the thickness of the natural oxide layer, producing a porous surface which can accept organic or inorganic dyes easily. In the case of titanium, niobium, and stainless steel, the colour formed is dependent on the thickness of the oxide (which is determined by the anodizing voltage).
A gold nugget of 5 mm (0.2 in) in diameter (bottom) can be expanded through hammering into a gold foil of about 0.5 m 2 (5.4 sq ft). The Toi gold mine museum, Japan.. Gold leaf is gold that has been hammered into thin sheets (usually around 0.1 μm thick [1]) by a process known as goldbeating, [2] for use in gilding.
