Send in safely
You do not send anything in blindly. Beforehand you receive an assessment, process notes and insured shipping on request.
The process
A meaningful piece needs a clear process.
Material, condition, settings, later use, desired gold tone and safe shipping define the process. That is how a finish is created that does not only shine, but actually fits the piece.
Understand first. Then plate.
We do not treat your piece like a standard item. First we assess what is technically sensible, which gold layer fits the use and which process is right for your object.

Visible difference
When the surface works again, the whole piece feels different.
Worn edges, dull surfaces and an old gold tone often decide whether a favorite piece is worn or put away. This is where value is restored: renew the surface, preserve the memory, bring back the presence.
BeforeAfter
WornEdges and contact areas look clean and complete again.
DullThe surface regains depth, reflection and value.
Wearable againA piece set aside becomes a piece for everyday wear again.
Atelier standard
The surface decides whether a piece feels right again.
Good gold plating does not start with a cart. It starts with an honest assessment. We assess surface, material, use and desired effect before your piece enters the atelier.
Polishing, cleaning and preparation decide whether the gold layer can look clean.
1, 3 or 5 microns are not chosen by default, but recommended to match the object.
03 · Security
Personal assessment before shipping.
Rings, chains, watch cases or keepsakes are first assessed by photo. That creates a sensible path instead of a blind standard booking.

Price & durability
Not every object needs the same gold layer.
Not every gold plating job is made for the same stress. Eine feine Chain braucht andere Schichtstärken als ein Ring für den täglichen Alltag — deshalb wird jede Goldauflage passend zum späteren Einsatz empfohlen.

Gold layer system
Not only gold tone. A layer system that fits real use.
The visible color is only one part of the decision. Preparation, adhesion, intermediate layers and gold thickness by use matter.
Understand the material.
Silver, stainless steel, brass, copper or old coatings behave differently.
Prepare the surface.
Cleaning, polishing and edges decide how clean the plating looks.
Check adhesion and barrier layer.
Depending on the piece, a technical intermediate layer can be sensible.
Gold layer by use case.
1, 3 or 5 microns are recommended to match the object and stress.
We do not have to guess. A clear image often shows whether polishing, replating, a stronger gold layer or a technical check makes sense.
The layer system is not based on a flat package, but on material, condition and later use.
Before and after
Dull and worn can become a piece you want to wear again.
When gold tone, edges or surface no longer feel coherent, LAFFARTS reassesses the piece: clear edges, a considered gold tone and a layer suited to use.
WornEdges and surfaces look complete again.
DullThe surface regains depth and reflection.
Wearable againA piece set aside can be worn again.
