Our technique: Electroplating gold plated jewellery

Gold plated jewellery has been a popular choice for many due to its affordability and luxurious appearance. One method of creating gold plated jewellery is electroplating, where a layer of gold is deposited onto a base metal using an electrolytic cell. In this blog post, we will explore the process of electroplating gold plated jewellery and the benefits it offers.

The Process of Electroplating Gold Plated Jewellery

Electroplating is a process that involves passing an electric current through an electrolytic cell that contains a solution of gold ions. The base metal, which is typically brass or copper, is placed in the solution and connected to the negative terminal of a power supply. A piece of pure gold is connected to the positive terminal and acts as the anode.

As the electric current flows through the solution, the gold ions are attracted to the base metal and deposited onto it, creating a thin layer of gold that covers the entire surface. The thickness of the gold layer can vary, depending on the length of time the current is applied and the concentration of the gold ions in the solution.

Affordability: Electroplated gold plated jewellery is more affordable than solid gold jewellery. The process of electroplating allows for a thin layer of gold to be deposited onto the base metal, creating a product that looks like solid gold but at a fraction of the cost.

Durability: Electroplating creates a strong bond between the gold layer and the base metal, resulting in a durable piece of jewellery. The thickness of the gold layer determines the durability, and higher quality electroplated gold plated jewellery will have a thicker layer of gold, making it more resistant to wear and tear.

Versatility: Electroplated gold plated jewellery is available in a wide range of styles and designs, making it versatile and suitable for many occasions. It can be worn casually or dressed up for formal events.

Hypoallergenic: Electroplated gold plated jewellery is often made with hypoallergenic metals such as brass or copper, making it a safer option for those with sensitive skin.

Sustainability: Electroplated gold plated jewellery is a sustainable choice as it uses less gold than solid gold jewellery, reducing the environmental impact of gold mining.
