SOYUZ Luxury Rolled Gold Vintage Mechanical Pencil Moscow Red Square Souvenir 2 Rubies Inlaid LUXURY ROLLED GOLD VINTAGE MECHANICAL PENCIL MOSCOW RED SQUARE KREMLIN SOUVENIR What is Rolled Gold?Rolled gold is made by fusing a base metal, usually silver, brass or copper, between thin sheets of gold. The metals are then bonded together using heat, and rolled into flat sheets for use in jewelry. Rolled Gold vs Gold PlatedGold plated jewelry is much more commonly known than rolled gold. Gold plate is made by applying a very thin layer of gold onto the base metal, which is usually silver or copper. This can be done through chemical or electroplating processes.Generally speaking, rolled gold has about 100 times more gold than gold plate jewelry. Gold plate uses very little solid gold in its composition. As a result, it is less durable and also cheaper than rolled gold.Over time, the gold plating wears or flakes off, revealing the metal beneath. Rolled gold, on the other hand, does not wear off in this manner as it has a thicker layer of gold.Unique and hard to find collectible souvenir. Features part of the Kremlin tower with the Red Star - Communist regime symbol for more than 70 years. High end model. Most of the USSR production was mass produced using low quality materials, but this pencils has a rolled gold body along with 2 rubies inlaid. Great gift idea. Will definitely enhance any good collection. Could be used on special occasions too.
