Brass

Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. The proportions of zinc and copper can be varied to create a range of brasses with varying properties. For jewelry, the most commonly used percentages of copper and zinc is 67% and 33%. This mixture helps the brass become stronger and more durable than copper alone, which allows for superb electroplating quality, and thus, it is the perfect combination for fashion jewelry.

Vacuum / Ion Plating

Vacuum/Ion Plating is more durable and wear-resistant than traditional plating methods. Additionally, its great advantage is environmental consciousness as it avoids chemical solution during the process and it’s irritation-free for the skin. Vacuum/Ion Plating is an advanced technique normally in the watch, electronic and space industries. The object is placed in a vacuum chamber, which is pumped down to the desired vacuum pressure. The chamber is then heated to the target temperature to evaporate the material, which is sprayed onto the object, producing a thin layer of coating.

Single-Tone Plating

Single Tone is when a piece of jewelry has only one type/color of plating.

Plating Rhodium

Rhodium is a noble metal with a whitish gray appearance, and it is typically applied to metal through electroplating. A plating of rhodium is applied over either sterling silver or alloys to give a piece of jewelry a bright, glossy and long-lasting finish.
