ave your beloved earrings lost their lustre? Has the once radiant colour faded and are you dreaming of a new sparkle on your ears? With the gold-plating technique, you can breathe new life into your earrings in no time at all and give them a classy, golden touch. But wait! Is it even possible to have all earrings gold-plated? The answer is yes and no!
Which earrings are ready for the gold bath?
Earrings made from the following materials are generally suitable for gold plating:
Gold plating silver jewelry
The classic jewelry materials can be easily gold-plated and thus shine in new splendour.
Gold plating copper jewelry
Gold plating gives copper earrings a sophisticated look and is a trendy alternative to gold and silver jewelry.
Gold plating brass jewelry
Similar to copper, brass earrings can also be gold-plated, giving them a warm, golden appearance.
Genuine gold earrings can be professionally polished without any problems and generally do not require new gold plating. An exception is when a new gold plating is required, for example to turn yellow gold into rose gold or white gold.
Which earrings should I be careful with when gold-plating?
Jewelry with gemstones
In general, nothing happens to all gemstones during the gold-plating process. On the contrary: many of them look even more beautiful afterwards!
However, there are certain stones that have no place in electroplating baths. These include pearls, opals and lapis lazuli, for example. The heat and chemicals of the gilding process can damage these sensitive gemstones. For this reason, we carefully and professionally remove them before gold-plating and replace them after gold-plating. However, depending on the piece of jewellery, this is not always possible or advisable. Let our experts advise you by WhatsApp !
Earrings made of plastic or glass
As these materials are not heat-resistant and are partially foiled, they can melt or otherwise be damaged during gold plating. We therefore do not recommend gold-plating such jewelry.
If you have a design that you like, you could have the piece of jewelry reproduced. This comes at a price, but you will enjoy it for a very long time and the jewelry will last for generations. Our experts will be happy to help you!
