    Kim - Feel free to Email me directly on this, but there are several
    different types of gold on seed beads - Galvanized, 22k and 24k. None
    of them are "baked" on - they are fumed on. That said, the
    durability can be very different. Country of origin plays a factor in
    this, and company of manufacture is also a factor. I've operated my
    business for almost 25 years and seed beads are a major portion of my
    business, so I'd be happy to try and help you figure out exactly
    what you are using.
