**Gold Plating**

The benefit of plating is your products will be long lasting with an approximate 2.5 micron gold thickness. Please note that all plated products are subject to wear over time, depending on storage, customer care and wear. How long the plating will last depend on how your customers wears and cares for them. We urge that you educate yourself and your customers on how to care for plated jewelry prior to producing gold-plated jewelry, as we make no warranties on how long the plating will last on your products. 

**How It's Done**

We us an electroplating technique to apply a thin layer of gold on the surface of your mast metal piece. If you are choosing a silver cast base with a gold plating in your desired karat and color, we use a plating for vermeil plating that will elevate the value of your products.
