Pen plating is an effective technique for repairing small patches of worn plating on jewellery items. However, it is generally not suitable for plating entire pieces of jewellery due to its limited coverage and precision-based application. For plating complete jewellery pieces, alternative methods should be considered. Brush plating, mini tanking, and full tank plating are all suitable options.
