What Is Gold Plating?

Gold plating is the process of bonding a fine layer of real gold onto the surface of another metal. At XGold, each item is professionally cleaned, polished and prepared before it is plated to your chosen specification, available in 18k, 24k, yellow gold and rose gold finishes. The result restores tired pieces to their original shine and transforms everyday items into something that looks and feels premium. We plate most metals, including silver, brass, copper and stainless steel, and handle everything from single sentimental pieces to repeat commercial orders.

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.

What can you gold plate?

Jewellery, watches, accessories, decorative pieces, and luxury items. We plate silver, brass, copper, stainless steel, aluminium, nickel, and chrome, so most metal items work.

Which finishes do you offer?

Genuine 24k and 18k gold, plus yellow gold, rose gold, and white gold. We also do silver, platinum, and rhodium.

How long does it take?

We finish and return most gold plating jobs within 7 days. Larger commercial batches can take longer, and we confirm timing with your quote.
