Gold Plating Technical Standards

The plating thickness represents one of the most critical specifications for Swedish clients, who typically demand higher standards than basic fashion jewelry requirements. JINGYING offers tiered plating options:

  1. *Light Duty (0.5-1µ microns)*

    • Suitable for occasional-wear pieces

    • Cost-effective solution for seasonal collections

    • Requires clear customer communication about durability expectations

  2. *Commercial Standard (1.5-2µ microns)*

    • Meets typical Swedish retailer requirements

    • Provides 1-2 years of daily wear durability

    • Balanced cost/performance ratio

  3. *Premium Grade (2.5-3µ microns+)*

    • Used by luxury brands and designers

    • Withstands professional cleaning

    • Often paired with PVD coating for enhanced protection

The plating process begins with meticulous surface preparation. Copper chains undergo ultrasonic cleaning to remove all oils, followed by acid activation to ensure optimal molecular bonding. Our plating baths maintain strict temperature control (22°C±1) and current density parameters to achieve uniform deposition.

Recent advancements include:

  • Environmentally friendly cyanide-free plating solutions

  • Pulse plating technology for denser grain structure

  • Decorative two-tone effects through masking techniques

Swedish clients particularly appreciate our documentation of plating thickness, with XRF reports showing measurements at 5 points along the chain length. This attention to detail reduces compliance issues at EU borders.

Word Count Expansion Techniques:

  1. Add Technical Details:
    “The wire drawing process reduces copper rod from 8mm diameter down to the specified chain thickness through 12 progressive dies, with intermediate annealing at 450°C to maintain workability…”

  2. Include Client Case Studies:
    “A Stockholm-based client required 1.2mm Singapore chains with 2µ gold plating that could withstand Sweden’s coastal climate. We developed a specialized post-plating passivation treatment that increased tarnish resistance by 40%…”

  3. Compare Regional Differences:
    “While German clients often prefer 3mm+ curb chains, Swedish buyers typically order 1.5-2.5mm lightweight designs suited for layering…”

  4. Add Process Visuals Description:
    “The plating line’s conveyor system moves chains through 12 treatment tanks in sequence: alkaline cleaner (3 minutes), acid dip (30 seconds), two rinses, copper strike (90 seconds), nickel barrier (2 minutes), gold plating (varies by thickness), final rinse, and drying tunnel…”
