What is Commercial Gold Plating?
Commercial gold plating is the process of applying a thin, durable layer of real gold to components, parts, or products on a large-scale or industrial basis. Unlike retail gold plating, which focuses on individual jewellery or accessories, commercial plating is designed for manufacturers, businesses, and production lines that require consistent, high-quality results across multiple items.
This type of plating is used for both functional and aesthetic purposes, including:
Enhancing appearance
giving products a premium gold finish for luxury items, jewellery components, or decorative accessories.
Improving performance
gold’s natural corrosion resistance, conductivity, and durability make it ideal for electronics, engineering, and high-precision applications.
Batch consistency
commercial plating ensures every component meets the same high-quality standards, which is essential for production efficiency and client satisfaction.
At XGold, our commercial gold plating services are tailored to the needs of businesses across the UK. We combine professional-grade plating equipment, expert quality control, and high-purity gold finishes to deliver long-lasting, visually stunning results that meet both functional and aesthetic requirements.

FAQs
2.5 microns is a substantial thickness and should last years if taken care of.
This all depends on what product you are going to plate and what thickness the gold is deposited
Although these items aren’t made of solid gold, the plating is. However, the gold layer must be at least 0.5 microns thick for an item to be designated as “gold plated.”
Real gold is combined with a different base metal to create gold-plated jewellery and watches.
Any specialised finishing, restoration, special handling, or pretreatment would not be included in this.
At XGold, pricing for gold plating depends on the size, complexity, and condition of the item.
You may easily get them replaced with xgold so you can continue wearing them for many years.
Over time, gold plating on jewellery fades, but you don’t have to throw away the items you adore
Items with heavy wear (like rings) may need more frequent replating.
We can plate most metals including silver, brass, copper, and stainless steel.
You can send your item from anywhere in the UK using DPD or UPS, with delivery to us (XGold) the following day. Your item will then be plated and, where possible, returned to you the next day. Check out our delivery process for more details or contact us today.

Unlike industrial or bulk plating, retail gold plating is tailored for individual customers and single items—from engagement rings and family heirlooms to modern costume jewellery.
It offers an affordable way to refresh worn or tarnished pieces, giving them the look and feel of new gold without replacing the original item. Retail services usually include professional cleaning, polishing, and colour-matching, with options for 18k, 24k, or rose gold finishes.
For many customers, it’s a way to:
-
Revive sentimental jewellery (wedding rings, heirlooms, gifts)
-
Refresh fashion jewellery that has lost its shine
-
Restore watches and accessories to a luxury finish
-
Extend the life of favourite pieces with durable, high-quality plating
Retail gold plating is the process of applying a thin layer of real gold onto jewellery, watches, and fashion accessories to restore or enhance their appearance.

Unlike retail gold plating, which focuses on individual jewellery or personal items, commercial gold plating is used by businesses, workshops, and manufacturers to deliver consistent, high-quality finishes across batches of items.
Commercial gold plating can serve both aesthetic and functional purposes:
-
Enhancing appearance – giving products, fittings, or accessories a premium gold finish.
-
Improving performance – gold’s natural conductivity, corrosion resistance, and durability make it ideal for electronics, engineering, and aerospace applications.
-
Scaling production – enables multiple items to be plated quickly and consistently, ensuring a uniform, professional finish.
In practice, commercial gold plating is often used for:-
Jewellery brands producing collections in bulk
-
Luxury accessories such as watches, pens, and fittings
-
Electrical contacts and components needing gold’s conductivity
-
Specialist industries requiring protective or decorative coatings
Commercial gold plating refers to the large-scale application of gold coatings to components, parts, or products for industrial, commercial, or manufacturing purposes.
