- Frequently Asked Questions:
Which metals can I plate over with this kit?
With the solutions that are included in this kit, the following metals can be plated over in a rhodium finish: 9k gold, 14k gold, 18k gold, 22k gold, 24k gold, rose gold, white gold, rhodium (replating a previously rhodium plated piece to freshen up with a new layer), platinum, palladium, silver.
If you would like to use the kit to plate rhodium over other metals such as stainless steel, copper, brass or others, you will require the use of some additonal chemcials, these can be added to expand your kit, please enquire for details.
Please note: when determining whether a certain metal can be plated with the kit, please pay attention to the metal at the surface of the jewellery. For example, a piece might be originally made from stainless steel but if it has been plated in a layer of silver or gold, or any other metal, the metal at the surface will determine how it is plated. If the surface metal was to be silver for example, you are plating over silver not stainless steel. Please contact us if you are unsure and we will be happy to advise you.
