Ring results
Worn. Assessed. Ready to wear again.
With a ring, the key is not a quick gold color but the right decision before work begins: what is worn away, where does the ring rub, are there stone settings or material risks? That is where professional ring gold plating starts.
Before / after
Turn a worn ring back into a piece you are proud to wear.
One first photo is enough for an initial assessment. We look at wear, edges, settings and material clues, then tell you whether replating makes sense, which gold layer is appropriate and how the ring can regain a refined, consistent appearance.
What would you like to restore about your ring?
Choose the situation that best matches your ring. Each option leads directly to the photo request so we can assess the material, condition and appropriate gold layer.

Ship safely
You do not send your piece in blindly. You first receive an assessment, process information and insured value shipping options on request.
The process
A ring deserves a clear process.
Before a ring is gold plated, the details matter: material, condition, settings, intended use, desired gold tone and safe shipping. These factors determine a finish that does more than shine — it actually suits the piece.
Assess first. Recommend second.
We do not treat your ring like a standard product. We first assess what is technically appropriate, which gold layer suits how the ring will be worn and which process is right for the piece.

View the process in detail
Photos reveal material, settings, wear and whether a clean gold-plating process can be planned appropriately.
Depending on the base material, we assess preparation, adhesion layers and, where appropriate, a barrier layer such as palladium.
Rings experience heavy wear, so the gold layer is selected according to use, edges and contact surfaces.
Price depends on condition, preparation, surface area and the desired gold layer. Photos first, then a proper assessment.
Price & durability
Not every ring needs the same gold layer.
Not every gold-plating specification is designed for the same level of wear. A ring worn every day needs a different recommendation from a keepsake worn only occasionally. That is why layer thickness is matched to intended use.

for rings worn occasionally to regularly.
