Plate Gold

Can you plate a silver piece of jewelry to make it gold?
I have an emotionally valuable pin that is silver. I want to have it turned into a charm on a bracelet, but I don't wear silver jewelry, so I was hoping it was possible to plate it with gold and then put in on a gold chain. Is that possible?
Silver plated with gold is called "vermeil" (ver-MAY). You'd probably want to talk to a local jeweler about having your pin plated.
