Hard Gold Plating.
Plate an eligible piece in 9ct or 18ct gold. It’s a durable, good-value way to change a piece’s colour completely, and you choose it as an optional add-on when you buy.
A real, lasting gold finish.
Hard gold plating bonds a real layer of 9ct or 18ct gold to your piece: 5 microns on base metal, and up to 2 microns on silver and gold, the limit UK hallmarking law sets for plating a hallmarked piece. It gives a silver or base-metal piece a gold finish, or lets you mix gold and silver tones, without buying solid gold.
Silver, turned gold
Love a piece in silver but want it in gold? Plating gives a solid-gold look for a fraction of the cost.
Base metal, lifted
Bring costume and base-metal pieces up to a warm, precious-looking gold finish.
The mixed-metal look
Layer gold and silver tones together without investing in solid-gold pieces.
Genuinely hard-wearing
Proper hard plating, far more durable than the thin flash plating found on the high street: 5 microns on base metal, and up to 2 microns on silver and gold.
9ct or 18ct
Choose the carat to suit the piece and the depth of colour you prefer.
Great value
A beautiful gold finish at a small fraction of the price of a solid-gold equivalent.
