Last time I talked to a jewelry teacher, I was surprised how cheap  
gold-plating can be. It can be a VERY thin coat of gold to get a nice  
effect over a top cover, esp. if it's taken back to the brass first.  
Of course, it won't take too much hard use.
I have some gold-plated bathroom fittings - stops tarnishing and not  
much more expensive that mere brass.
