WHAT IS THE GILDING PROCESS?

 

The gilding process is called Electroplating.
It consists of coating metals with a layer of gold, transforming silver or brass jewelry into gold-plated jewelry...

Galvanizing stainless steel requires a special technique that we do not offer.

Electroplating uses the electrolysis method.
The jewelery is immersed in a bath of gold, connected to an electric current. Thanks to this continuous electric current, gold particles are deposited on the metal over time...

Elsa takes you behind the scenes of this process, which is rarely open to private individuals:


WHAT CAN BE GILDED/RESTORED?

 

- Jewelry (chains, pendants, rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings)


- Watch frames (brass only)


Metal accessories for leather goods (latches, clasps, etc.)

Glasses frames (depends on material)
