What Does EP stand for?

“In gold bracelets what does EP mean?”
EP stands for Electro-Plating, and is a technique of gold-plating a cheaper base metal, normally silver or copper.  This means that the bracelet would not be solid gold but only has a very thin layer of gold over the top.  Its great for carrying off that gold look on a budget, but don’t be fooled into thinking you are getting a bargain as electro-plated gold bracelets do not have any of the intrinsic gold value which solid gold bracelets do, even if the plating is a high carat value.
