Gold Plating in Birmingham
Gold plating in Birmingham for Jewellery Quarter trade batches, worn rings and watch cases. Insured next-day courier both ways, quote agreed first.
Birmingham gold plating reaches the workshop by insured next-day courier, and the work splits two ways. Benches in the Jewellery Quarter send findings, settings, chain and sample pieces that need one repeatable colour across a batch. Households in Edgbaston and Sutton Coldfield send worn rings, dulled watch cases and door furniture. Every piece is photographed on arrival, and you approve the quote before anything goes into a tank.

A Second Batch Has To Match The First
Trade plating fails on repeatability. Once you approve a first batch we record the carat, tone, thickness and preparation against your account, so a reorder six months later is plated to a written specification rather than to somebody's memory. Private pieces get the same record, which matters when you add to a set later.
Gold plating questions, answered.
Everything you need to know about gold plating, including costs, durability, processes, and what to expect. These answers are based on real industry standards to help you make confident decisions before plating your items.
Do you plate silver and base metal findings as well as gold pieces?
Yes. Silver, brass, steel and most alloys plate well, while some pot metals and mixed-material assemblies do not. Tell us the base metal when you enquire and we will confirm suitability before the batch travels.
Will hallmarks stay readable after replating?
Yes. The deposit is measured in microns, so struck marks stay legible underneath it. Where a mark is already shallow from wear we say so at assessment, because polishing is the stage that softens fine detail, not the plating.
Can you plate to a trade specification for a Jewellery Quarter workshop?
Yes. Send the substrate, carat, micron thickness and the colour you work to, or one reference piece, and we will match it and record the specification. Repeat orders are quoted per unit and plated to that same record.
Do you collect gold plating work from Birmingham?
Birmingham sits outside our collection radius, so work travels by insured tracked DPD or UPS and usually reaches the workshop the next working day. Trade consignments can be booked as a scheduled pickup and return once volumes are regular.
For Jewellery Quarter benches we take small trade batches: findings, settings and chain matched to your existing line, an NDA where a design is unreleased, and the approved finish specification held on file for reorders.
