Consider how thick you'd like your ring to be plated

Understanding Replating Thickness and Durability

The cost of replating largely depends on the thickness of the gold layer applied. Finematter offers three standard options:

1 Micron (Durable): Recommended for earrings, this thickness lasts 1-2 years with regular wear.

2 Microns (Very Durable): Suitable for earrings and necklaces, offering approximately 2 years of durability.

3 Microns (Most Durable): Ideal for rings and bracelets, providing about 3 years of wear.

For rings, the 3-micron thickness is typically recommended to ensure longevity and resilience against daily wear.

Which Yellow Gold Tones Are Available?

When replating your jewellery with yellow gold, Finematter offers a range of karat options to suit your personal style and preferences. These include:

14K Yellow Gold: A light, durable shade with a subtle golden tone. Perfect for those who prefer a softer gold look for everyday wear.

18K Yellow Gold: A classic, warm golden hue with a luxurious feel. This is the most popular option for its balance of richness and durability.

22K Yellow Gold: A deeper, richer shade of gold with a strikingly vibrant tone. Ideal for those who love the bold, opulent look of high-karat gold.

24K Yellow Gold: The purest form of gold, offering a rich, bright yellow colour. While it’s less commonly used for replating due to its softness, it’s perfect for creating a show-stopping piece.

With these options, you can customise the appearance of your ring, ensuring it matches your personal style while maintaining its timeless elegance. If you’re unsure which karat to choose, Finematter’s team is always on hand to offer expert advice.
