From the Ancient World to the Modern Jewelry.
Gold Plating is a jewelry technique used to apply thin layers of gold onto another metal base using a current through a gold sales solution. This process is called electroplating and can be used to apply gold to jewelry and other items.
History of Electroplating with Gold:
The electroplating technique was invented in the 19th century as a way to recover metal objects with a thin layer of another metal. Electroplating was originally used to recover metals such as nickel with a thin layer of silver or chromium, but it wasn't until the 1840s that the technique was adapted for applying a layer of gold to other metals.
Advantages of electroplating with Gold:
Using gold electroplating has several advantages, including the ability to create high-quality, durable finishes that are resistant to corrosion and discoloration.
