22ct Hard Gold Plating: Rich bright gold plating finish. Suits embossed styles lovely with Pearls, colored Crystals and Diamantes.
Silver: Bright plated finish. Great for the fine detail work and not the full detailed work as it won't over power the finding. Silver plating has the disadvantage that it is subject to tarnishing that detracts from the plating, Tarnishing of decorative silver deposits can be reduced by anti-tarnish treatments or by lacquering and for this we use clearlyte electrophoresis lacquer. Great with Diamantes, Pearl and pastel colors, Light sapphire, Light Rose.
Rose Gold: Plated finish soft look giving an Era Of By Gone Days. Lovely with Pearls, Garnet, Ruby and mauve.
Nickel: Plated finish has a chrome look to it. Will Not Tarnish. Great with Diamantes and Pearls.
Rhodium: Rhodium is a white bright metal as plated and has many advantages over other white metal finishes such as silver or tin in that it is very hard so as to provide good wearing ability but also rhodium is almost impervious to attack by most naturally occurring chemical compounds and so the finish Will Not Tarnish. Great with Diamantes and Pastel Colors. ( Rhodium Plating will cost More).
