Technibond jewelry (sold by HSN) is plated/bonded with 14kt. The base metal is sterling silver. From what I understand the process HSN uses is somewhere between gold-plated and a true vermeil. Vermeil is gold over sterling, but the layer of gold is thicker than just goldplating (and more expensive). I think the vermeil process is different as well. I have several Technibond pieces. I like them and they are holding up well.

I have an an original technibond rope chain. The original pieces had a lifetime guarantee. Mine is well over 25 years old and still looks great. I understand that later pieces were produced by a different process, with no guarantee and don't hold up very well.

Does 14kt gold over sterling silver look like genuine 14kt gold?
If you are referring to 14kt gold plating, then yes it will look like genuine 14kt gold. Gold plating is designed to produce the look of gold and it is very effective because it is a layer of real gold covering. There are a few ways you can determine if something is gold plated vs real, solid gold. #1: Use a magnet: Real gold is not magnetic. If your jewelry is attracted to the magnet, it is probably not real gold. #2: Do a visual inspection around the edges of the jewelry. If the jewelry has been worn a bit, the edges will usually wear the most. If the piece is merely gold plated, you will often see the underlying metal coming through.
