Black Gold Plated Jewelry

Many people love the look and feel of the precious silver but don't like the fact that all silver tarnishes. In the previous article, I blog about 5 ways to keep your silver tarnish-free. Today, I would like to bring up another luxurious way that adds style to your precious silver jewelry and also helps preventing it from tarnishing at the same time!

Black Gold Plating
Black Gold Plating is one of the coolest and luxurious ways to protect your precious sterling silver from tarnishing. That's why we choose it for our men's jewelry line. Our black gold plated jewelry is plated with a generous layer of the '18K black gold' and therefore the nice black color will last a pretty good while before wearing off. For some people, our black gold plating can last for many years before they need to replate their jewelry. This also depends on the conditions the ring encounters in everyday wear.

The technical name of the black gold plating is black rhodium plating (rhodium is actually in the same family as platinum and is 10 times more expensive than pure gold!). We use electrodeposition process to coat our jewelry in micron measurement. Result?
