I got this kit about one month ago. I haven't tried it yet, but I can say just by looking at the instructions manual that if you are just starting this is the kit you want to get. Very clear explanation and is just plug and play. I will try it in a couple of weeks with some jewelry. 👍
Hi . I just found this video it’s amazing but already 9 years passed, is this plating system still on market or something new comes up probably, share some information if you can please, thank you, Vj.
9:08, I'm cutting coins to make medallions, some of the coins are old and tarnished. If I bought this kit, how, or what's the best way to remove tarnish from cupronickel coins?
What steps should be taken for the piece before the plating process? I use a steam machine, an ultrasonic cleaner and a cleaning material before plating. Is there anything else that improves the quality of plating.
As long as the part is free of debris - polishing compound, dirt, dust, etc., that is all that matters. Improving the "quality" of the finish is mostly done in the prep (polishing). You want to get the item to the finish you desire BEFORE plating it, not after.
Good day I have a problem with the gold plating when I look, it looks good, but it removes quickly when touched or used within two or three days. What is the problem and what is the solution please .. For information, I paint for 30-40 seconds and do not use the activator. What is the activator used in the explanation?
can you possibly do a video on how they do two/three tone electroplating? how is that done? for the factory produced material, i'm sure they have the proces... how about with two/three tone jewelry that you want to replate to new? how is that done? i don't see that here on youtube... if that's not possible, does that mean that if you have a piece that has tri-color and you want it replated, you will have not much of a choice but replate it all or have it polished despite the loss of gold to retain the shine
This completely depends on 2 main factors; 1) how thick the gold is plated. 2) How it is handled. If you plate the item with a very thick plate, say "Vermeil" (Pronounced Ver-May and is 2.5 microns thickness), it could last a lifetime. If its earrings it will be handled less than a ring, etc. Typically gold plating gets a bad reputation because many jewelers apply the gold way too thin. When we plate an item, we put on atleast 1 micron or more and it lasts many years in most cases.
@@GoldPlatingServices It also depends on the person’s chemistry on their skin! We have a pH level. I have had Bad Luck with plated jewelry. Some wore off in weeks!🙁 (obviously poorly done) But I also grew to realize that all the vitamins I take, especially Vit. C, have an effect on plated items (but hey, mosquitoes don’t bite me and no colds or Covid, soo 🤷🏻♀️!) I own 1 vintage, 50’s era, watch that has kept its plate well. There’s no school like old school!✌🏼
+Selfmade Typically solutions that are yellow or clear produce a "soft" gold finish. Purple solutions like ours are a "hardened" 24K gold. Hardened gold solutions, like the one shown in this video, produce a much more desirable finish for Jewelry (and other decorative items) as it is shinier and also more durable.
+Gold Plating Services As a lab technician (polymers, no anorganics), it sounds a bit weird to me. Gold-kations are gold-kations...does the solution really matter? The solution itself makes a difference maybe, acid or lye....hard to understand. But I saw the purple solution in a huge tank, industrial grade and size...so I guess the yellow stuff is more for the hobbiest.

Hello, here is the link to the kit and chemicals on their website. 😊 www.goldplating.com/collections/plating-kits/products/jewel-master-pro-hd-plating-kit-for-plating-gold
Hi, I have concerns that although this looks to be an excellent home gold plating kit it may only flash plate. I need to be sure this will plate 3 microns without any problems, what do you think?
This kit can plate to virtually any thickness. Flash plating is 0-7 microinches or less. This hard gold shown in the video is capable of plating up to 120 microinches (3 microns) in one contiguous layer, however that is the absolute maximum. Typically, to go this thick, it would be done in 2 separate "layers". This means you would plate it once for 1.5 microns, then again for another 1.5 microns. The kit is not the limiting factor in thickness, the solution is. Hardened gold solutions are more limited in thickness, in one layer. However, with a Pure Gold, you can plate virtually to any thickness. The reason people dont use a Pure Gold for jewelry is it is not hardened and has no brighteners. If you do wish to achieve 3 microns, keep in mind you will need to track your gold use and maintain your bath. 3 microns is VERY thick for a hard gold and most do not plate that thick. We can help you with gold usage and how to replenish the bath.
Hi Thanks for your reply. Would there be more chance peeling given the hard gold solution needs two plates to achieve 3 microns thickness? What if I used the pure gold solution first and then the hard gold to obtain a durable finish on my jewellery? Do you supply full detailed notes re pros and cons and after sales support with this kit?
Betty, rather you did it in 2 layers or 1 contiguous layer there would be no difference in adhesion. You would have zero chance of "peeling" if the initial layer is applied correctly. You could do your idea with the pure gold capped with hard gold, however I believe this is not as good of an idea as plating with hard-gold throughout. We supply a comprehensive users guide, these videos, and all the after sales support you need. You can e-mail or call any time with questions and we have experienced tech's ready to help.
My jewellery line is mainly sterling silver, I don't want any migration into the gold plate. Is an undercoat of white bronze advisable and do you supply the bronze plating solution?
Amazing thanks for sharing! I'm making earrings and would like to gold plate them, would you advise this gold plating kit to be the most useful or are their any other cheaper but effective ways of gold plating my jewels? I'm new at this hehe!
hello, thank you for the video. can i send you a belt buckle that has become dull and compensate you for the service of electro plating it ? i would greatly appreciate your service.
It would depend on what the alloy is. Stainless steel does require a "flash plate", for this we normally recommend Wood's Nickel Strike. Most copper alloys don't require any special activation but some applications do use a nickel under plate on copper, brass, or bronze. Our technical staff can advise on the requirements for various alloys.
so you take in jewelry that people want you to plate as well how much do you charge for it? I mean to plate it the thickest possible how much would it be?
It purely depends upon the piece of jewelry. The condition, size and type of item makes a huge difference in how long it takes to plate. Most of the cost comes from your time, not the actual gold content used. For instance, you could plate a ring with a super thick layer and the gold cost may only be a dollar or two. A chain necklace in not-so-great condition may take you a couple of hours to polish, prepare and plate. To give you an idea though, we typically charge about $200-$300 to plate a watch and we also have a $150 minimum plating charge no matter what the item is.
I just found this video cuz I was lookn to get a few pieces I guess replated....I had two for two weeks and u can see it's starting to turn a little.... can you help and how much....also I was told that they were dipped five times lol if that even matters
We can help you out. If you could, send us an e-mail to platingjobs@gmail.com with photos of the piece and we will do it properly for you. Dipping multiple times is not necessary and that they told you it was dipped 5 times is indicative of someone who does not understand electroplating well. Properly plated pieces will last years.
We sell a 14K gold plating solution! We also sell an 18k. We have a chemical you can add that will lower it even more if you feel it is still too gold.
Great question! I hope we will get an answer! Also to be honest I do nails so I tried sealing with a clear hybrid base coat and/or top coat. It changes the feel of course, becauce hard gel doesn't feel like metal but it works GREAT as a sealer!! It's also safe for the skin after you cure it, it' super clear and shiny AND it can fill in and hide some scratches etc. You just got to be careful to keep it thunk so that you don't lose sharp edges and a clean look ❤
No. Very few gemstones are affected by plating solutions. Turqoise can be but usually is not affected by Electroclean, Activator and Gold. Diamonds or other glass-type gemstones, including cubic zerconium are not affected whatsoever.
Yes, you can plate onto silver with gold plating solution and with silver plating solution onto the same type of items you can gold plate. The process is the same to achieve a silver plate and it is to achieve a gold plate, each solution just requires a slightly different voltage setting which is indicated on the bottles and instructions included with purchase. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
We have a silver solution called "Heavy Silver Plating Solution". It is available, however, it is not on our website, unfortunately. If you would like to order, please send us an e-mail at info@goldplating.com or give us a call at 801-546-6200 and we will make sure you get everything that you need! -Robert @ GPS
You thoroughly rinse all solutions off the piece after plating, dip into distilled water rinse and then dip into an alcohol rinse. Allow the piece to dry (until alcohol is dried) and it is ready to go! Technically you can just take it out of the bath, rinse it off and dry with a papertowel as well without damaging the plating. There is no curing or drying time required aside from getting the rinse water off of the piece. Some people use compressed air to remove the rinse water from the piece as well.
How do I strip my costume jewerly before gold plating them ? I have tried gold plating on top of my old jewerly and it comes out an ugly color not gold
Polishing is the best way. You need to get the part prepped to the luster you want prior to plating. This is the case with most finishing and is most important with plating.
@GoldPlatingServices I have Three questions for you...Does Gold Plating give off any type of smell? How do you dispose of the used chemicals and What type of zoning does a Jewelry Maker fall under? Appreciate your help.
Gold plating does not give off much of an odor, if any. Most people do not smell it however some with a sensitive nose can. To dispose of the chemicals you would need to find a local waste disposal service. Many areas allow you to take it to the landfill, where they have a hazardous waste disposal area. If that's not an option, you will need to contact a private local waste disposal company and inquire about picking up liquid waste. Many people get large containers (20gallon, 50 gallon, etc.) and collect it for years and then pay a 1 time disposal fee (usually $100-$200 or so). Zoning will depend on your area, you would need to contact your local agencies to find that out.
Gold plating is porous. So if the gold is not applied thick enough, the silver can corrode underneath the gold. The way this is dealt with is to either apply the gold quite thick or to apply a "diffusion barrier" between the substrate and the gold - this is typically done with something like nickel or rhodium. If you have done one of these two things, the silver should not corrode and the gold certainly will not.
lets say I have pendants about the same size as the pendant that you plated that can hold the stone..about how many can I plate with the gold solution? And how much is a refill of the gold solution? Thanks..Excellent video too
+Antonio DaLomba Jr Thank you Antonio, we're happy to hear that. Assuming the area of that pendant is about 2 square inches you could plate around 125 to 150 of them to a "jewelry grade thickness" of 20 micro-inches. Our "24K Bright Gold Solution" contains 2.8g fine-gold and costs $325.00 per bottle. If you used every milligram of gold in the solution you could plate about 400 square inches of area (200 of the pendants) to a 20 micro-inch thickness, however most people replace the solution when the gold content gets low as the deposition rate slows down quite a bit. The cost of the actual gold plating is quite minimal. The ability to gold plate items, the time involved, and the inherent value of turning something gold is what most people are charging for when they price a job or item. Let us know if you have any more questions or shoot us an e-mail if you would like to order.
Thanks so much, this helped me so much, Amazing Job, I love his Video, I subscribed and left a like, and I'll be watching all your Videos, thanks so much, have an amazing day, amazing job and video
How much quantity to polish the jewellery in the solutions or chemicals ...in future the chemicals are finish where is the location how to purchase the solution
We do not sell polishing supplies, polishing is a different craft than electroplating. You can purchase additional chemicals from our website www.goldplating.com . We can ship anywhere in the world.
Eventually yes, any plating has the potential to wear off no matter what metal it is or how thick it is plated. However, the thicker you plate it the more wear it will withstand. Also, this is a hardened 24K gold which makes it multiple times more wear-resistant than a "soft" gold. It is still a 99.97%+ gold deposit, the hardeners just disrupt the lattice formation of the gold ions as they deposit. This disruption strengthens the structure of the formation - kind of like building a brick wall instead of trying to build a wall with varying shaped boulders. When a hard gold is applied to a reasonable thickness it should last many years, especially if taken care of.
You can plate fine chain link necklaces, however they need to be pulled as tight as possible in order to allow the electricity to flow from link to link. The current has to be able to flow throughout the entire item.
If i buy a stainles steel Rolex and plated iT in 24 or 18k a thick thick layer so when i scratch iT u can stil see the gold , a 36mm Rolex , would iT look lik a gold Rolex or would u see its plated also how much would that be if u had to guess ??
We have already answered this question seven times in other various comments from you. We're happy to answer any questions or clarify answers but repeating the same question over and over will only get you the same answer. All of our products ship from the USA, we do NOT have distributors anywhere else in the world. However, we can ship our products anywhere in the world except North Korea and Iran (because we cannot legally). We have provided you the links in comments & video descriptions for where you can see a detailed list of what comes with each kit & the prices.
Yes, you can gold plate copper. Not sure about covering the stone. You mean to protect it right?, not trying to plate it??? Haha. I have a nice tensor ring I bought that is plated copper. Even the copper beads on it are plated. Pretty cool stuff. I would love to make a nice big bracelet of copper and plate it.
How long the piece will stay gold plated depends on how thick you plate the gold and how it is taken care of. If the item is plated with 1-2 microns (achieved in 5-10 minutes) it could last a lifetime if taken care of properly. If it is plated for only 15-30 seconds it could wear off in a week.
I got this kit about one month ago. I haven't tried it yet, but I can say just by looking at the instructions manual that if you are just starting this is the kit you want to get. Very clear explanation and is just plug and play. I will try it in a couple of weeks with some jewelry. 👍

How do I strip my costume jewerly before gold plating them ? I have tried gold plating on top of my old jewerly and it comes out an ugly color not gold
Polishing is the best way. You need to get the part prepped to the luster you want prior to plating. This is the case with most finishing and is most important with plating.
@@GoldPlatingServices thank you for replying. What do you use for polishing? Any suggestions please?
What kind of glove have you use?
Pls tell me how many pcs or pendants can be plated in a day ??
Depends on how long you plate each piece and how many can be placed on each rack. We have one customer who does over 500 parts a day.
good job
@GoldPlatingServices I have Three questions for you...Does Gold Plating give off any type of smell? How do you dispose of the used chemicals and What type of zoning does a Jewelry Maker fall under? Appreciate your help.
Gold plating does not give off much of an odor, if any. Most people do not smell it however some with a sensitive nose can.
To dispose of the chemicals you would need to find a local waste disposal service. Many areas allow you to take it to the landfill, where they have a hazardous waste disposal area. If that's not an option, you will need to contact a private local waste disposal company and inquire about picking up liquid waste. Many people get large containers (20gallon, 50 gallon, etc.) and collect it for years and then pay a 1 time disposal fee (usually $100-$200 or so). Zoning will depend on your area, you would need to contact your local agencies to find that out.

If a sterling silver necklace plated with gold will it tarnished if you shower with it and exercise with it ??
Gold plating is porous. So if the gold is not applied thick enough, the silver can corrode underneath the gold. The way this is dealt with is to either apply the gold quite thick or to apply a "diffusion barrier" between the substrate and the gold - this is typically done with something like nickel or rhodium. If you have done one of these two things, the silver should not corrode and the gold certainly will not.
Is it possible to recover the gold and if so how much is it worth
lets say I have pendants about the same size as the pendant that you plated that can hold the stone..about how many can I plate with the gold solution? And how much is a refill of the gold solution? Thanks..Excellent video too
+Antonio DaLomba Jr Thank you Antonio, we're happy to hear that. Assuming the area of that pendant is about 2 square inches you could plate around 125 to 150 of them to a "jewelry grade thickness" of 20 micro-inches. Our "24K Bright Gold Solution" contains 2.8g fine-gold and costs $325.00 per bottle. If you used every milligram of gold in the solution you could plate about 400 square inches of area (200 of the pendants) to a 20 micro-inch thickness, however most people replace the solution when the gold content gets low as the deposition rate slows down quite a bit. The cost of the actual gold plating is quite minimal. The ability to gold plate items, the time involved, and the inherent value of turning something gold is what most people are charging for when they price a job or item. Let us know if you have any more questions or shoot us an e-mail if you would like to order.

What would be a starting price to replate a gold plated nugget watch?
what type of ventilation is suggested for this unit?
"Local Ventilation" is typical and sufficient. An open window and/or area fan works fine for most people.

We do not sell polishing supplies, polishing is a different craft than electroplating. You can purchase additional chemicals from our website www.goldplating.com . We can ship anywhere in the world.
How much? I make Elvis belts. The co.I used to use is going out of business
It depends on a few factor and it would be best if you went and got a quote from our website and we will give you a quote.
Is stainless steel a good base for gold plating?
Oh and how long does it stay electroplated
April White , it is permanent but thin. It will wear off the high spots eventually. Plating wears off sooner, the thinner it is.
thanks. WHat kind of Anode did you use?
We used a Stainless Steel Anode in these solutions.
does the gold wear off eventually?
Eventually yes, any plating has the potential to wear off no matter what metal it is or how thick it is plated. However, the thicker you plate it the more wear it will withstand. Also, this is a hardened 24K gold which makes it multiple times more wear-resistant than a "soft" gold. It is still a 99.97%+ gold deposit, the hardeners just disrupt the lattice formation of the gold ions as they deposit. This disruption strengthens the structure of the formation - kind of like building a brick wall instead of trying to build a wall with varying shaped boulders. When a hard gold is applied to a reasonable thickness it should last many years, especially if taken care of.
@@GoldPlatingServices how much would you charge to plate some items for me ?
Hi, can you tell me if you can plate fine chain link necklaces with this kit?
Thanks
You can plate fine chain link necklaces, however they need to be pulled as tight as possible in order to allow the electricity to flow from link to link. The current has to be able to flow throughout the entire item.
I want to get this machine

Hello, can I gold plate a copper ring with a stone (emerald) in it ? should I cover the stone ?
Yes, you can gold plate copper. Not sure about covering the stone. You mean to protect it right?, not trying to plate it??? Haha. I have a nice tensor ring I bought that is plated copper. Even the copper beads on it are plated. Pretty cool stuff. I would love to make a nice big bracelet of copper and plate it.
after plating how many years we can give guarantee for customers?
How long the piece will stay gold plated depends on how thick you plate the gold and how it is taken care of. If the item is plated with 1-2 microns (achieved in 5-10 minutes) it could last a lifetime if taken care of properly. If it is plated for only 15-30 seconds it could wear off in a week.
That’s amazing. Can you plate jewelry that has stones in it already, like cz?
i think if you cover them then yes
Nice color, is bath of gold ??
Can you use a silver plating solution with this?
Absolutley can!
Sir you could know the materials used in the process
