I learned this a while back, but don't they put whatever item they want to plate in a solution (in this case, wouldn't it be gold?) and they run an electric current through it that causes the gold to cover the surface of the ring. The demonstration/experiment involved electroplating a spoon when I first learned this.
How ya doing, buddy?
