Plating process
What type of metal can be plated?
Our goldsmith can add a fresh layer of yellow, rose or white gold to any sterling silver or solid gold jewellery.
I don’t know what my jewellery is made of, how can I find out?
Most precious gold and silver jewellery will have a stamp or hallmark. These stamps can help you identify what your jewellery is made of. You can read our guide here.
My jewellery is made of a non-precious metal. Can it be plated?
We may be able to plate some non-precious metals so please get in touch with us prior to booking. If you do send us costume jewellery (any jewellery made of metals other than sterling silver or solid gold), we will attempt to complete the plating process, but we are unable to guarantee results, durability or longevity of the plating.
Do you plate watches?
We do not plate watches. Our workshop specialises in plating jewellery only.
My jewellery contains stones. Can I still have this plated?
Most stones can be plated, such as diamonds and emeralds. However, there’s some gemstones which may become damaged or discoloured through the plating process. These stones include; opals, lapis, malachite, moonstones, labradorite and coral.
Can I plate silver jewellery?
We can plate any sterling silver jewellery, regardless of whether it has previously been plated with gold or not.
How is the jewellery plated?
Our goldsmith uses a gold plating process called electroplating. Electroplating is a process that involves depositing a thin layer of metal onto the surface of an object using electrolysis. During the process, the jewellery is submerged in a gold solution, forming a layer of fresh gold on the surface of the piece.
Gold-plated jewellery care
With gold-plated jewellery it is important to care for it properly to make sure the plating lasts as long as possible. Follow a few ground rules for considerate wear, and you will extend the longevity of your piece:
Always apply perfume, make-up and hairspray before putting on your gold-plated jewellery.
Make sure your hands are free from make-up and lotion when putting on and taking off your gold-plated jewellery.
When exercising, remove your gold-plated jewellery to prevent salts from your sweat damaging your jewellery.
Remove your gold-plated jewellery before showering, bathing and swimming in saltwater or chlorinated pools.
Remove your gold-plated jewellery when preparing acidic foods.
Remove your gold-plated rings and bracelets when washing your hands with soap.
Do not apply hand sanitizer if wearing a gold-plated ring.
Do not let your jewellery come into contact with any cleaning products that contain harsh chemicals.
Avoid using a jewellery polishing cloth to clean your plated jewellery - these are designed to polish solid gold or sterling silver jewellery.
Store your gold-plated pieces separately to prevent from scratching each other.
