Gold Plating Services in London

To provide you with a quote for our gold-plating services, we consider several factors:

Estimate Strip and Polish: We need to determine the amount of work required to strip and polish your jewellery item to remove any residual oil, dirt, or oxidation that may be left on the piece, which can inhibit the plating process. Furthermore, scratches and other imperfections on the surface can become more noticeable after the plating process. We ensure a clean surface for a flawless, uniform finish by thoroughly cleaning and polishing your item before adhering it to the gold.

Measure Surface Area: Our gold plating process utilises genuine 18ct gold, which has a specific cost per unit weight. Therefore, we will need to roughly measure the surface area of the piece to gauge the amount of gold required.

Check Gold Market Price: The current market price of gold fluctuates and impacts the total cost of the process. We regularly check market rates to give the most accurate quote.

Quantity Discounts: We provide significant discounts on bulk orders of ten or more items for gold plating of the same design.

By combining all these factors, we provide a transparent quote for gold plating your jewellery.

Gold plating involves applying a thin layer of gold to the surface of another metal, typically silver or brass, to enhance its appearance and protect it from corrosion. The thickness of the gold layer can vary, and the process is often used to create gold-tone jewellery and decorative items.

While most metals can be successfully gold-plated, certain materials pose challenges, such as pewter, stainless steel, and aluminium. Due to their surface composition, we're unable to plate these metals.

Our jewellers carry out all gold plating on-site, enabling us to offer some of the quickest turnaround times in the industry.

For standard projects, expect a turnaround of 2–5 business days. For more complex or large-scale orders, the timeframe may extend to 5–10 business days.
