These 5 types of jewelry are particularly worth gold plating
Many people own pieces of jewelry that may no longer look new, but still hold inestimable sentimental value. But what do you do when the shine fades? High-quality real gold plating can help restore this—and transform a worn piece into a shining keepsake.
Today we'll show you five types of jewelry where professional gold plating is particularly worthwhile.
1. Engagement and wedding rings
They are probably the most emotionally meaningful pieces of jewelry there is. But precisely because they are worn daily, they quickly show signs of wear.
Gold plating gives old rings a new shine—whether as a refresh for an anniversary or as a symbolic act after a decade together. Durable 3–5 micron hard gold plating in 18K or 24K is particularly popular.
2. Heirlooms with patina
A ring from your grandmother. A brooch passed down through generations. Such pieces of jewelry tell stories.
Instead of letting them gather dust in a box, gilding brings their special aura back to life. The characteristic shapes and details are preserved—but with a surface that once again shines with dignity.
3. Necklaces and pendants with meaning
Heart-shaped pendants, small crosses, medallions or plaques – many of these are mementos of people or events.
Often made of silver or copper alloys, they are ideal for 14K, 18K, or 24K gold plating. Especially when worn daily, a professional coating ensures longevity and renewed value.
4. Belt buckles and accessories
Gold plating isn't just a matter of jewelry. Belt buckles, watch cases, and metal parts on bags can also be given a high-quality finish – ideal for men who appreciate elegant details.
Brass and stainless steel, in particular, respond excellently to electroplated gold plating. The result: elegant, durable, and a real eye-catcher for everyday wear.
5. Personal costume jewelry (after inspection)
Not all costume jewelry is suitable—but many pieces with a personal story are. Whether mementos from childhood or small gifts:
After prior material testing, even less expensive pieces can be enhanced with gold plating. The emotional impact is often priceless.
If a piece of jewelry has meaning, gold plating is almost always worthwhile
Whether heirloom, gift or daily companion:
Professional gold plating restores the shine to what is important – without you having to part with it.
