Technibond is a trade name for jewelry sold on a television shopping channel. It is similar to the term "vermeil" in which a layer of karat precious metal is bonded onto another metal, usually sterling silver. The precious metal can be such as platinum, or 18 karat gold for example. This is not the same as "plated" with a precious metal. It is a bonding technique.

Yes I have 18k overlay singapores for many years now.
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.
Mine does!
