Rose gold plating is used in jewelry manufacturing where a thin layer of actual rose gold is applied to a base metal. The method is called electroplating where the base metal is coated with rose gold and then turns out to be a metal that has the shade of rose. This type of plating has become popular as it’s a cost-effective way of achieving the aesthetic color and appeal of the solid rose gold jewelery. This plating technique is much cost cost-effective and pocket-friendly for those who want the same looks at a much lower price while providing options.

What is "rose gold"? Is it the pink gold that naturally occurs in nature? These are the questions that often are raised in the buyer's mind. Rose gold is an alloy made up of precious metals which are generally gold, copper, and maybe a bit silver. This metal is very appealing to women for its gentle romantic reddish-pink tint. It exudes softness and gentleness just at the first look. This alloy is used to craft rose gold jewellery and since it's not just plating it will not fade and will last just as any other karat of gold that is used in jewellery making. A lot of big international jewelry brands are making rose gold jewels bringing a lot of variety to the market.

How is Rose Gold Plating Done?

For any jewellery to be plated a base metal is required. Base metals are generally in the form of silver, brass, or copper. Once the base metal jewelry is established it’s polished and cleaned to achieve a smooth surface so the plating can be done. Post plating there can't be any polish so cleaning and polishing is an important step before any jewellery can be plated. The plating is done in the electroplating plant where a solution of rose gold ions is used on the jewels. The jewelry item is dipped in this solution and electric current is used in the process. This technique requires proper plating plant and skilled craftsmanship. The temperature, the solution everything needs to be perfect to achieve the desired finish of rose gold.
