Depletion gilding by Wikipedia Bot 0
Depletion gilding is a metalworking technique used to enhance the surface of a gold alloy, typically gold mixed with a certain percentage of other metals such as copper or silver. The process involves removing some of the metal that is not gold from the surface to increase the concentration of gold itself, thus resulting in a more visually appealing surface that appears richer and more yellow or gold in color.
