24K Gold Plating onto beautiful hand-made jewelry. One of the pendants is made of Brass, another of Sterling Silver, and one made of PMC (Precious Metal Clay) Silver. The entire process takes only about 10 minutes, and during this time about 20 micro-inches (.5 micron) of 24k gold is applied evenly to all the pieces at once. The JewelMaster was designed to plate up to about 12 square inches at once, so that multiple pieces can be plated at a time. To achieve thicker plating, you will need to plate for longer periods. The gold solution that comes with the kit has 2.5 grams of "fine gold", and will plate about 1,200 square inches to a typical gold plating thickness.

I got this kit about one month ago. I haven't tried it yet, but I can say just by looking at the instructions manual that if you are just starting this is the kit you want to get. Very clear explanation and is just plug and play. I will try it in a couple of weeks with some jewelry. 👍
i guess it's quite randomly asking but does anybody know a good place to watch newly released movies online?

So cool! thanks for posting! :)
This is fascinating. Thank you for sharing!
Can you purchase a whole kit with everything in it that you need? For the 24-karat gold
Could you plate in different karats of gold? if so what do you need to change the karat plating in order to do that ? Thank you
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Can you take a 14k gold ring that lost its luster and plate it with a 18k solution. Will it stick. Thank you for your answer. Big Mex
can you possibly do a video on how they do two/three tone electroplating? how is that done? for the factory produced material, i'm sure they have the proces... how about with two/three tone jewelry that you want to replate to new? how is that done? i don't see that here on youtube... if that's not possible, does that mean that if you have a piece that has tri-color and you want it replated, you will have not much of a choice but replate it all or have it polished despite the loss of gold to retain the shine
Is it real gold which is plated on the non gold items?
If yes, how is the gold solution obtained? Steps if any?
Can you do this onto black stainless and can you put chrome on top instead of gold?

Question: Why is my gold-solution yellowish like your first solution, and your gold-solution is dirty purple solution?
+Selfmade Typically solutions that are yellow or clear produce a "soft" gold finish. Purple solutions like ours are a "hardened" 24K gold. Hardened gold solutions, like the one shown in this video, produce a much more desirable finish for Jewelry (and other decorative items) as it is shinier and also more durable.
+Gold Plating Services As a lab technician (polymers, no anorganics), it sounds a bit weird to me. Gold-kations are gold-kations...does the solution really matter? The solution itself makes a difference maybe, acid or lye....hard to understand. But I saw the purple solution in a huge tank, industrial grade and size...so I guess the yellow stuff is more for the hobbiest.
+Gold Plating Services Funny, they use Co-compounds as a drying-additive for 1k clearcoats. Maybe the phyiscs behind it is the same :> what is the chemical name of the purple solution?
Will this work on copper ?

can we gold plate tin alloy jewelry?
@GoldPlatingServices I have Three questions for you...Does Gold Plating give off any type of smell? How do you dispose of the used chemicals and What type of zoning does a Jewelry Maker fall under? Appreciate your help.
Gold plating does not give off much of an odor, if any. Most people do not smell it however some with a sensitive nose can.
To dispose of the chemicals you would need to find a local waste disposal service. Many areas allow you to take it to the landfill, where they have a hazardous waste disposal area. If that's not an option, you will need to contact a private local waste disposal company and inquire about picking up liquid waste. Many people get large containers (20gallon, 50 gallon, etc.) and collect it for years and then pay a 1 time disposal fee (usually $100-$200 or so). Zoning will depend on your area, you would need to contact your local agencies to find that out.
plz can we use stainless steel anode for jewelry rhodium plating ? Thanks a lot
for planting use only platinum anode . the steel anode use for the electro cleaning .
How much gold a half a micron joaillery quality plating is using?
A gram for all these things? 1/10 of a gram?
lets say I have pendants about the same size as the pendant that you plated that can hold the stone..about how many can I plate with the gold solution? And how much is a refill of the gold solution? Thanks..Excellent video too
+Antonio DaLomba Jr Thank you Antonio, we're happy to hear that. Assuming the area of that pendant is about 2 square inches you could plate around 125 to 150 of them to a "jewelry grade thickness" of 20 micro-inches. Our "24K Bright Gold Solution" contains 2.8g fine-gold and costs $325.00 per bottle. If you used every milligram of gold in the solution you could plate about 400 square inches of area (200 of the pendants) to a 20 micro-inch thickness, however most people replace the solution when the gold content gets low as the deposition rate slows down quite a bit. The cost of the actual gold plating is quite minimal. The ability to gold plate items, the time involved, and the inherent value of turning something gold is what most people are charging for when they price a job or item. Let us know if you have any more questions or shoot us an e-mail if you would like to order.
What steps should be taken for the piece before the plating process? I use a steam machine, an ultrasonic cleaner and a cleaning material before plating. Is there anything else that improves the quality of plating.
As long as the part is free of debris - polishing compound, dirt, dust, etc., that is all that matters. Improving the "quality" of the finish is mostly done in the prep (polishing). You want to get the item to the finish you desire BEFORE plating it, not after.
what is the name of purple solution which is added to the complex to appear in this shape?
Im looking for a plating house to send silver merchandise periodically to rhodium plate, gold palte and also in rose gold, now my question is, this plating on silver it wears quick, or it actually persist in time? I need some industrial grade plating that doesnt wear off easy. DO you guys only sell equipment or also offer plating services?
Jewelry grade? Half a micron? How does that compare to gold filled?
But where is the gold coming from? I’m not understanding if it’s real gold or not
Good day
I have a problem with the gold plating when I look, it looks good, but it removes quickly when touched or used within two or three days. What is the problem and what is the solution please .. For information, I paint for 30-40 seconds and do not use the activator. What is the activator used in the explanation?
Did you find the answer? Please help.me wher i can get answers from too
If you keep plating longer will it build up to eg: 5 microns, or 10 microns? I am wondering as most watches were plated to 20 microns back in the day?
24K Hard Gold can be plated to ~2.5 microns or 100 microinches. 24K Soft Gold can be plated indefinitely thick, but has a matte finish.
so you take in jewelry that people want you to plate as well how much do you charge for it? I mean to plate it the thickest possible how much would it be?
It purely depends upon the piece of jewelry. The condition, size and type of item makes a huge difference in how long it takes to plate. Most of the cost comes from your time, not the actual gold content used. For instance, you could plate a ring with a super thick layer and the gold cost may only be a dollar or two. A chain necklace in not-so-great condition may take you a couple of hours to polish, prepare and plate. To give you an idea though, we typically charge about $200-$300 to plate a watch and we also have a $150 minimum plating charge no matter what the item is.
9:08, I'm cutting coins to make medallions, some of the coins are old and tarnished. If I bought this kit, how, or what's the best way to remove tarnish from cupronickel coins?
There are ways of chemically removing tarnishing, however we typically simply polish the item to the desired luster, which removes tarnishing.
What's in the color formula?
How do you get a medium light color gold similar to 14K jewelry not that heavy dark yellow color that a lot of people associate with plated gold?
We sell a 14K gold plating solution! We also sell an 18k. We have a chemical you can add that will lower it even more if you feel it is still too gold.
Hi, can you tell me if you can plate fine chain link necklaces with this kit?
Thanks
You can plate fine chain link necklaces, however they need to be pulled as tight as possible in order to allow the electricity to flow from link to link. The current has to be able to flow throughout the entire item.
So do gemstones have to be removed in rings before plating?
No. Very few gemstones are affected by plating solutions. Turqoise can be but usually is not affected by Electroclean, Activator and Gold. Diamonds or other glass-type gemstones, including cubic zerconium are not affected whatsoever.
what type of ventilation is suggested for this unit?
"Local Ventilation" is typical and sufficient. An open window and/or area fan works fine for most people.
how long does the gold plating last before it wears off from the actual metal?
This completely depends on 2 main factors; 1) how thick the gold is plated. 2) How it is handled.
If you plate the item with a very thick plate, say "Vermeil" (Pronounced Ver-May and is 2.5 microns thickness), it could last a lifetime. If its earrings it will be handled less than a ring, etc. Typically gold plating gets a bad reputation because many jewelers apply the gold way too thin. When we plate an item, we put on atleast 1 micron or more and it lasts many years in most cases.
@@GoldPlatingServices It also depends on the person’s chemistry on their skin! We have a pH level. I have had Bad Luck with plated jewelry. Some wore off in weeks!🙁 (obviously poorly done)
But I also grew to realize that all the vitamins I take, especially Vit. C, have an effect on plated items (but hey, mosquitoes don’t bite me and no colds or Covid, soo 🤷🏻♀️!)
I own 1 vintage, 50’s era, watch that has kept its plate well. There’s no school like old school!✌🏼
Hi can I gold plate onto an alloy or do I need to flash plate the alloy first and if so with what metal
Regards
It would depend on what the alloy is. Stainless steel does require a "flash plate", for this we normally recommend Wood's Nickel Strike. Most copper alloys don't require any special activation but some applications do use a nickel under plate on copper, brass, or bronze. Our technical staff can advise on the requirements for various alloys.
Can you do this process with diamonds or gemstones, maybe even CZ still intact in the pieces?
Sure can! They are unaffected.
@@GoldPlatingServices You cover the precious stones with wax or something before the dips, right?
How long would you leave it in solution to get vermeil thickness plating?
About 15 minutes
Oh and how long does it stay electroplated
April White , it is permanent but thin. It will wear off the high spots eventually. Plating wears off sooner, the thinner it is.
what is the chemical name of the purple solution
Would like to purchase a starter kit to get started of course. Can you recommend the very first one I should get. I eventually want to get to playing guns
The JewelMaster Pro (shown in the video) is capable of plating onto most metals. For steel/stainless steel you need a "Strike" instead of Activator. You can use either Woods Nickel Strike or TriVal - Acid Gold Strike.
The JewelMaster is a great starter kit. Many who get too busy to keep up with their needs with the JewelMaster will eventually upgrade to our new ProLab plating kit, which has 4 or 5 Liter capabilities.
How long do I have to let it sit to reach 3 microns thickness?
Do you recommend any product that seals the plated gold in ?
Great question! I hope we will get an answer! Also to be honest I do nails so I tried sealing with a clear hybrid base coat and/or top coat. It changes the feel of course, becauce hard gel doesn't feel like metal but it works GREAT as a sealer!! It's also safe for the skin after you cure it, it' super clear and shiny AND it can fill in and hide some scratches etc. You just got to be careful to keep it thunk so that you don't lose sharp edges and a clean look ❤
দারুণ যুক্তিসঙ্গত কথা...😀
Can you do this same process with plating silver? TY
Yes, you can plate onto silver with gold plating solution and with silver plating solution onto the same type of items you can gold plate. The process is the same to achieve a silver plate and it is to achieve a gold plate, each solution just requires a slightly different voltage setting which is indicated on the bottles and instructions included with purchase. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
+Gold Plating Services What solution would I need for silver plating? Do you have a direct link?

Hi, I have concerns that although this looks to be an excellent home gold plating kit it may only flash plate.
I need to be sure this will plate 3 microns without any problems, what do you think?
This kit can plate to virtually any thickness. Flash plating is 0-7 microinches or less. This hard gold shown in the video is capable of plating up to 120 microinches (3 microns) in one contiguous layer, however that is the absolute maximum. Typically, to go this thick, it would be done in 2 separate "layers". This means you would plate it once for 1.5 microns, then again for another 1.5 microns. The kit is not the limiting factor in thickness, the solution is. Hardened gold solutions are more limited in thickness, in one layer. However, with a Pure Gold, you can plate virtually to any thickness. The reason people dont use a Pure Gold for jewelry is it is not hardened and has no brighteners. If you do wish to achieve 3 microns, keep in mind you will need to track your gold use and maintain your bath. 3 microns is VERY thick for a hard gold and most do not plate that thick. We can help you with gold usage and how to replenish the bath.
Hi
Thanks for your reply.
Would there be more chance peeling given the hard gold solution needs two plates to achieve 3 microns thickness?
What if I used the pure gold solution first and then the hard gold to obtain a durable finish on my jewellery? Do you supply full detailed notes re pros and cons and after sales support with this kit?
Betty, rather you did it in 2 layers or 1 contiguous layer there would be no difference in adhesion. You would have zero chance of "peeling" if the initial layer is applied correctly. You could do your idea with the pure gold capped with hard gold, however I believe this is not as good of an idea as plating with hard-gold throughout. We supply a comprehensive users guide, these videos, and all the after sales support you need. You can e-mail or call any time with questions and we have experienced tech's ready to help.
My jewellery line is mainly sterling silver, I don't want any migration into the gold plate. Is an undercoat of white bronze advisable and do you supply the bronze plating solution?

Do you to do 14 carat gold for customers. I have few jewelry that I like the designs and would like to have
them gold plated. Also what are your cost?
We do have 14K Gold that we sell with our kits. However, we do not offer 14K plating services.
How much jewelry can you usually plate with one bottle of the solution? Love the video, very informative!
One quart contains sufficient gold to cover ~ 800 square inches of area to a decorative thickness.
I want to get this machine
after plating how many years we can give guarantee for customers?
How long the piece will stay gold plated depends on how thick you plate the gold and how it is taken care of. If the item is plated with 1-2 microns (achieved in 5-10 minutes) it could last a lifetime if taken care of properly. If it is plated for only 15-30 seconds it could wear off in a week.
Can you use a silver plating solution with this?
Absolutley can!
is this gold plating also possible with wax pieces?
In order for electroplating to work, you must have a conductive surface. We aren't aware of any wax pieces with conductive surfaces, but wouldn't go as far to say it doesn't exist.
For immersion 24 K gold plating, what metal do you use for the anode?
For our solution, a stainless steel anode is acceptable.

Hello, can I gold plate a copper ring with a stone (emerald) in it ? should I cover the stone ?
Yes, you can gold plate copper. Not sure about covering the stone. You mean to protect it right?, not trying to plate it??? Haha. I have a nice tensor ring I bought that is plated copper. Even the copper beads on it are plated. Pretty cool stuff. I would love to make a nice big bracelet of copper and plate it.
If a sterling silver necklace plated with gold will it tarnished if you shower with it and exercise with it ??
Gold plating is porous. So if the gold is not applied thick enough, the silver can corrode underneath the gold. The way this is dealt with is to either apply the gold quite thick or to apply a "diffusion barrier" between the substrate and the gold - this is typically done with something like nickel or rhodium. If you have done one of these two things, the silver should not corrode and the gold certainly will not.
How much is kit?
How much quantity to polish the jewellery in the solutions or chemicals ...in future the chemicals are finish where is the location how to purchase the solution
We do not sell polishing supplies, polishing is a different craft than electroplating. You can purchase additional chemicals from our website www.goldplating.com . We can ship anywhere in the world.
What is the max micro-inches that it will do?
+Joe Daddy You can plate to virtually any thickness if properly done in layers. However, the thickest you can feasibly plate with a hardened gold in one layer is approximately 80 micro-inches. After ~80 micro-inches the finish will start to appear "hazy", and begins to lose its luster.
can you pull the 24k plating out?
If you want to remove the gold, it needs to be polished off or mechanically removed in some way.
How gold pleting for sprre
does the gold wear off eventually?
Eventually yes, any plating has the potential to wear off no matter what metal it is or how thick it is plated. However, the thicker you plate it the more wear it will withstand. Also, this is a hardened 24K gold which makes it multiple times more wear-resistant than a "soft" gold. It is still a 99.97%+ gold deposit, the hardeners just disrupt the lattice formation of the gold ions as they deposit. This disruption strengthens the structure of the formation - kind of like building a brick wall instead of trying to build a wall with varying shaped boulders. When a hard gold is applied to a reasonable thickness it should last many years, especially if taken care of.
