Jewelry electroplating — gold, silver and rhodium plating in practice

Electroplating gives jewelry its final look and protects it from wear. Here are the three key processes.

Gold plating

Applying a layer of gold onto another metal (e.g. gold-plated silver). The layer thickness determines how long the colour lasts.

Silver and rhodium plating

Silver plating gives a silver look on a cheaper metal. Rhodium plating protects silver and white gold from tarnishing and is hypoallergenic.
