How thick do you plate with your item? How long does your plating last?

The default plating thickness of listed items on our website is 0.03 micron. According to our tests, 0.03 micron should last 2 months or more. However, please note, we cannot guarantee how long the plating will last, as it depends entirely on the customer's wear and tears.

For OEM/ODM orders, we can do top PVD Gold / Rhodium / Palladium / Ruthenium Plating up to 5 microns - same as top luxury brands, which maintain the high feel and extreme durability of jewelry and can be worn frequently for at least over 3 years.

If you have difficulty choosing the plating thickness of your customized products, we suggest starting with your main market. Generally, if you are retailing a pair of earrings at US $30, then 0.1 micron should be sufficient. Whereas, if they are priced up to US $65 a pair, then at least 1 micron would be more suited.

If you look for a longer-lasting time, below is a good combination that we recommend.

● Bracelets, necklaces, and charms = 1 micron

● Earrings = 0.50 micron

● Rings = 2.5 microns

Does your silver tarnish over time?

Yes. Tarnishing (Oxidation) is considered normal wear and tear not a manufacturing fault. Tarnishing (Oxidation) appears when the metal (silver) reacts to the oxygen in the air. Tarnishing (Oxidation) will happen much faster when it comes into contact with agents such as perfume, salty air, sulphur, skin creams, hairspray, chlorine, and acidic skin ph which triggers a chemical reaction.

Are there any tips for jewelry care in order to make the plating last longer?

Special care must be taken to ensure jewelry does not scratch or tarnish.

Here are some tips for your reference:

1. Each piece of jewelry should be stored individually to avoid scratching and sealed to avoid air contact.

2. Store jewelry in a clean, dry place away from natural sunlight, humidity (bathroom), and heat.

3. Remove jewelry before showering, going to bed, or participating in physical activity especially swimming/hot spring. Also, remove rings before washing your hands every time.

4. Avoid exposure to sweat and harsh chemicals such as perfumes, cleaning agents, chlorine, and saltwater.

5. Use a silver-polishing cloth to clean the pieces if the jewelry has become dull. Do apply pressure but not too much as this can remove the plating coat.
