The Ultimate Guide to High-Quality Gold Plating in Jewelry

Understanding the Craft of Gold Plating

Gold plating in jewelry is an art that combines traditional craftsmanship with modern technology. This technique involves applying a thin layer of gold onto the surface of another metal, such as copper or silver, to create luxurious and durable pieces. At the heart of this process is the choice of gold used. We select only the finest quality gold, ensuring a rich, lasting finish.

Key Components of Gold Plating

  • Base Metal Selection: The choice of base metal significantly affects the final outcome. We typically use sterling silver or high-grade copper for optimal results.
  • Gold Quality: We use 24k gold, known for its purity and brilliance, to ensure the best plating quality.
