FWTempest, i'm sorry but you can't gold plate your glasses in 24K gold as the gold would be to soft and it would show up teeth marks if one happens to bite the rim of a glass. If any jeweller tells you they can plate anything in 24K they are talking bull, they can only plate things in 9-18K and even then 18K gold plating would be rare for a jeweller to do. Oh also you can't just go putting gold plating on glass without first plating them in silver so the gold can have something to take a hold on. gee talk about getting technical on something ;)
