How do you turn silver colored costume jewelry into gold colored jewelry?

You can have them plated at a jeweller or alternatively, visit a supply store and they should have gold plating. Just follow the instructions, but generally you dip the cut in the gold plate and let it sit for x amount of time, before you take out it. I have personally never tried it but I heard it works although the results are not as professional as they would be if you got it done by a jeweler. You can also buy cheaper karat gold for your plating, and that way it won’t cost a fortune. Simply find a jewellery supply store in your area and give them a call. They should be able to direct you to the product in question.
Best of luck!
Painting your jewelry is not really a fantastic solution. The paint will chip and wear extremely easily and the color will look very “fake”. You can have it plated, but being costume jewelry, you may not want to go to that expense–it would most likely cost more than the jewelry is worth, and plating wears and chips positively easily over time as well. Your best bet is to leave it silver and buy new gold colored peices.
