I also have a non-pearl question.
What the heck??

What on earth would you "plate" gold with that would give you a chocolate colored metal? Are there any metals out there that would give you a natural chocolate color? If so, why don't people just wear those instead of plating gold with chocolate? This seems weird to me. And brown is my favorite color. So, if anyone would go for this, it seems like it should be me.
