What Are BLING PROUD's 5 Times/PVD Gold Plating Technology?

The basic material is silver material, we had done the silver plating at the first layer to make the foundation have Stable adhesion.

The most important part is doing one more step to differentiate out competitors - done by palladium plating. Palladium is a precious metal with numerous properties that make it an excellent choice of plating material,reliably provides a high-quality coating for our jewelry.
The 3th plating process - The rhodium plating is a process which gives the white gold its ultra white colour by placing a coating over the existing products.

The market price data link:

Remark: The important layers are only Palladium and Rhodium, which will keep color last longer and also expensive: Palladium (95-126USD/g) and rhodium (1200-1270USD/g). 
The last step to ensure the color keep much more longer - Top coating/Nano finished.

If you choose the white gold plated products - White gold plated items thickness in 0.2μ Palladium+0.05 Rh ，0.1μ Rh for customized designs.
If you choose the gold plated products - Then we do 14K/18K gold plating of our products.
Gold plated items thickness in 0.2μ Palladium + 0.1 μ Au

The products we made in 'vermeil' (gold plated silver), our designs in gold layer at least 2.5 microns.

The basic material is brass material - We had done 5 times plating. The thickness is 3/1000(0.3u).

We had done the Alkaline copper plating at the first layer to make the foundation have Stable adhesion.
The second layer is Copper and silver mix ( Acid copper) plating material - Purpose Brighten the surface.
The most important part is doing one more step to differentiate out competitors - done by palladium plating. Palladium is a precious metal with numerous properties that make it an excellent choice of plating material,reliably provides a high-quality coating for our jewelry.

The 4th plating process - The rhodium plating is a process which gives the white gold its ultra white colour by placing a coating over the existing products.

The market price data link:

Remark: The important layers are only Palladium and Rhodium, which will keep color and also expensive: Palladium (95-126USD/g) and rhodium (1200-1270USD/g). In this area we thicken thickness of palladium because rhodium cost rised a lot.

The last step to ensure the color keep much more longer - Top coating/Nano finished.

If you choose the white gold plated products - White gold plated items thickness in 0.2μ Palladium+0.05 Rh ，0.1μ Rh for customized designs.

If you choose the gold plated products - Then we do 14K/18K gold plating of our products.
Gold plated items thickness in 0.2μ Palladium + 0.1 μ Au

Please notice:
All the thickness plating criteria based on the precious metal composition
3μ = Luxury brand standard.
0.003μ = Current market products standard.

316L Stainless steel - We only do PVD plating process = same process as watch plating
PVD is a vacuum coating process that produces a brilliant decorative and functional finish
PVD coatings are more resistant to corrosion from sweat and regular wear than gold plating.

Our products are in thick plating standard.
Normal plating standard(Market standard):
0.5 TiN+0.04-0.05 mic Au(IP Gold)
0.5 TiCN+0.04-0.05 mic AuCu(IP Rose)

BLING PROUD Thick plating standard:
1 mic TiN+0.1 mic Au(IP Gold)
1 mic TiCN+0.1 mic AuCu(IP Rose)

The color can last at least 3-5 years if you take of them very well. Such as remove your jewelry while going for a workout or swimming as the body sweat, seawater (due to salt content), pool water (chlorine content).
